The FSB report was presented at a hearing in a lawsuit filed by Magnitsky colleague Jamison Firestone against investigators for failing to open probes against government officials accused by Magnitsky of stealing public funds, Interfax reported Tuesday.
The two tax officials mentioned in the FSB report, Olga Tsaryova and Yelena Anisimova, were accused by Magnitsky of stealing $186 million in a tax refund scheme, Firestone's lawyer Alexander Antipov said at the hearing Tuesday.
Tsaryova and Anisimova exited Russia by car in May at a border post in the Belgorod region, the FSB report said. They cannot be served with a summons for questioning in the case because they are not in the country, the report said.
Antipov said at the hearing that Tsaryova and Anisimova bought luxury apartments in Dubai before leaving Russia.
Magnitsky was arrested in 2008 on tax-evasion charges against Hermitage Capital. The 37-year-old died in pretrial detention in 2009 before any charges were filed. While in jail, he was denied treatment for a severe medical condition.
His supporters allege that the case against him was security officials' revenge for accusing tax and police officials of pilfering $230 million in tax funds.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
