Assembly debate on 28 January 2014 (3rd Sitting) (see Doc. 13356 and Addendum, report of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, rapporteur: Mr Andreas Gross). Text adopted by the Assembly on 28 January 2014 (3rd Sitting).

1. The Parliamentary Assembly refers to its Resolution 1966 (2014) on refusing impunity for the killers of Sergei Magnitsky, and invites the Committee of Ministers to examine ways and means:

1.1 of improving international co-operation in investigating the “money trail” of the funds originating in the fraudulent tax reimbursements denounced by Mr Magnitsky; and, in particular,

1.2 of ensuring that the Russian Federation fully participates in these efforts and holds to account the perpetrators and beneficiaries both of the crime committed against Sergei Magnitsky and that denounced by him.
