BBC HardTalk: Lawyer’s death ‘will haunt me forever’

December 15, 2009

In mid Novem­ber 2009 a young Moscow lawyer died in police cus­tody. It was the lat­est twist in a dark tale of alleged fraud, cor­rup­tion and intim­i­da­tion which has pit­ted Bill Brow­der against the Russ­ian government.

He used to run a mul­ti bil­lion dol­lar invest­ment busi­ness in Moscow; now he calls Rus­sia a crim­i­nal state, which he is deter­mined to con­front. Has he picked a fight he can nev­er win?
