DAILY TELEGRAPH
Sir William is the co-founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005. Since 2009, when his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was murdered in prison after uncovering a $230 million fraud committed by Russian government officials, Sir William has been leading a campaign to expose Russia’s endemic corruption and human rights abuses.
