Aaron Gasch Burnett is a German Canadian political analyst, news journalist, communications strategist, and expert on German politics with over a decade of experience based in Berlin and over 15 years in journalism, research, and communications. ----------William Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005, as CEO of Hermitage Capital, when he was denied entry to the country and declared “a threat to national security” for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies. Since his business was stolen through a massive fraud by Russian state officials, and his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky ruthlessness murdered, Mr. Browder has sought justice outside of Russia and started a global campaign for governments around the world to impose targeted visa bans and asset freezes on human rights abusers and highly corrupt officials. The United States was the first to impose these targeted sanctions with the passage of the Sergei Magnitsky Accountability Act in 2012, followed by the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act in 2016. William Browder is Head of Global Magnitsky Justice campaign, and author of Red Notice & Freezing Order (April 2022). Now he is seeking justice for crimes committed by Russia at the behest of Putin, in Ukraine. ----------BOOKS:Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice (2015)Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, Murder,and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath (2022)----------Your support is massively appreciated!

Analysis from Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital and head of the Global Magnitsky Justice campaign and also Dr Robin Niblett, Director of the Chatham House think-tank.
Bill Browder, CEO Hermitage Capital, Head of Global Magnitsky Justice campaign and Author of Red Notice & Freezing
"One month ago, Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Putin's army has mercilessly targeted civilian areas, including apartment blocs, hospitals, and civilian shelters. The war crimes of Putin's regime are clear to all, as millions of refugees flee the conflict and thousands perish. In response to Putin's murderous behavior, the United States and other democracies have imposed sanctions on Russia, targeting the Russian banking sector, Russian exports, and over 100 individuals, including some of Putin's closest oligarch allies. However, these sanctions did not target the most important segment of the Russian economy — the export of oil and gas. They also did not address a deeper problem, which is the ability of Russian oligarchs to hide their money in the West. This week, we examine how oligarchs conduct business in the West, the impact of Western sanctions on Russia, and the types of reforms and sanctions democracies need to implement to change Putin's behavior. On this week's episode of Dissidents & Dictators, we have three guests. Casey Michel is an investigative journalist and the author of American Kleptocracy, which studies how the United States has become a haven for stolen wealth. Bill Browder is the CEO Hermitage Capital, and the Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice campaign. Hagar Chemali is a professor at Columbia University and a former official at the Treasury Department's Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes."
