In May 2017, the U.S. money laundering case against Veselnitskaya's client, Prevezon Holdings, was quietly settled out of federal court, While debate rages about whether the meeting broke any laws, one thing remains clear: Vladimir Putin is desperatel;y seeking an end to the current sanctions targeting his cronies. And we know he is trying to derail similar efforts in Canada. In March of last year, Veselnitskaya took aim at Canadian efforts to adopt Magnitsky legislation with various posts on social media in attempts to discredit Canadian advocacy efforts, including my own. Those posts were immediately followed by several anti-Magnitsky articles that appeared in Russian pro-Putin media. Those quickly prompted a member of Russia's Civic Chamber to demand that the Russian prosecutor general investigate those advocating for Canadian Magnitsky, including myself.

Rohrabacher's connection to Russia
![Browder and Senator Grassley have suggested Akhmetshin may be one of the Russian government's U.S.-based facilitators for having those sanctions repealed. Rohrabacher, for his part, denies knowing Akhmetshin well at all, describing him as "no friend of mine. He's just this guy who pops up." Even still, Akhmetshin visited Rohrabacher in his office in May 2016, a day before the House Foreign Affairs Committee was due to mark up the Global Magnitsky Act. Akhmetshin had recently been hired as a lobbyist for a group called the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative (HRAGI), which purports to seek the removal of the Russian adoption ban. HRAGI was founded by Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer for Denis Katysv, the legal owner of Prevezon Holdings. In other words, it is Katysv's $14 million that the US is looking to confiscate as ill-gotten gains. And it is Katysv who stands to benefit if Prevezon is acquitted.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/001/275/197/1cd.jpg)
