Ben Cardin: “These are countries that have serious corruption issues. They are not good governance countries.”

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.

You have found the Achilles hill of the Putin regime. They rape, torture and kill with impunity and keep their ill-gotten gains in the West.
