Browder saw corruption in Russia and exposed it. Because of this, he was refused entry into Russia and declared a “threat to Russian national security.”
Following his expulsion, Russian authorities raided his offices, seized Hermitage Funds’ investment companies, and used them to steal $230 million of taxes that the companies had previously paid.
