Ben Cardin: “It is important for America, it is important for our constitutional democracy to try and do that.”

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

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

It was originally a piece of legislation targeting the people who killed Sergei Magnitsky.

There is no reason why somebody should be sanctioned in America and not in Europe or not in the U.K.
