Senior MPs call on Government to freeze assets of those with ‘blood on their hands’ for human rights abuses

The new anti-corruption legislation, if passed, will be known as the Magnitsky Amendment – named after the 37-year-old Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was allegedly tortured and killed in prison

Human rights abusers with “blood on their hands” should be prevented from cashing in on their assets in Britain with new anti-corruption legislation, a group of senior MPs from across the political spectrum has urged.

Supported by 27 MPs, the proposed amendment to the Criminal Finances Bill calls on the Government to put an end to the UK being used a safe haven for “despots” and “foreign kleptocrats and their ill-gotten gains”.

The new anti-corruption legislation, if passed, will be known as the Magnitsky Amendment – named after the 37-year-old Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was allegedly tortured and killed in police custody. His crime, say his supporters, was blowing the whistle on fraud amounting to $230m by the Russian government and organised criminals.
