French authorities have launched an investigation into money laundering and organized crime activities in France, Monaco and Luxembourg connected to the Magnitsky Affair, the largest tax fraud in Russian history.
Law enforcement officials have made no public comment on the case, but a source close to the investigation told OCCRP that assets owned by persons in those countries have been frozen.
The theft of US$ 230 million from the Russian Treasury was discovered in 2007 by Russian lawyer Sergey Magnitsky who, at the time, was working for Hermitage Capital Management, then the biggest foreign investor in Russia.
