703. Aaron Gasch Burnett and Bill Browder - We Must Choke Off Funds to Putin's War Economy to End the War


Listen Later

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!
