Anti-Kremlin activist Bill Browder said he believes Alexei Navalny's death was intended as a message to political opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of elections next month. Dissident Navalny, who died Friday, had been serving a 19-year prison sentence on charges of extremism in Russia, which he vehemently denied. World leaders reacted with dismay and suspicion to the death, with U.S. President Joe Biden saying "Putin is responsible." Russia's Foreign Ministry on Friday said the West's reaction to Navalny's death was "self-exposing," given that no forensic medical examination had been made available at the time. Browder, the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management and a friend of Navalny, also accused the Russian leader of being behind the death.

The business conference will draw about 2,000 attendees from Greater China, in what will be one of the region's biggest-yet business delegation to Saudi Arabia, according to one person with direct knowledge of the matter. "From the perspective of both capital and new market, the Middle East, Saudi Arabia are really good new choices for Chinese companies and investors," said Henry Zhang, president of Hong Kong-based private equity firm Hermitage Capital. "Since late last year, a large number of Chinese funds have rushed to the Middle East looking for new investors. For the upcoming conference, Chinese entrepreneurs in attendance represent a range of industries -- from renewable energy and artificial intelligence to biotech, finance and tourism. "Previously, I had to actively pitch Chinese companies to consider Saudi Arabia as their destination of outbound investment and overseas expansion.

☆ The West should confiscate Russia's currency reserves to help Ukraine while easing risk to US dollar's dominance, says anti-Putin hedge fund manager

Russian currency reserves should be confiscated and used to help Ukraine, Hermitage Capital CEO Bill Browder said in the FT.To avoid weakening dollar dominance, the US must be joined by others, the long-time critic of Vladimir Putin added.

But Browder argued those assets should be seized and put to use in the defense and reconstruction of Ukraine. If the US alone confiscated Russian reserves, that would risk the dollar's dominance in global finance, as countries would shift to other currencies out of fear that the same could be done to their foreign reserves, Browder said. To avoid this, he argued that other countries with a reserve currency must join the US, leaving investors with little alternative.

☆ Investigarea unei scheme frauduloase transfrontaliere de spălare a banilor, descoperită de Serghei Magnitsky, are o nouă întorsătură în Letonia

Investigarea unei scheme frauduloase transfrontaliere de spălare a banilor, care a fost descoperită de Serghei Magnitsky, are o nouă întorsătură în Letonia, scrie Novaya Gazeta. Cauza penală din Letonia a fost inițiată în 2012 la cererea lui Bill Browder, cofondatorul și șeful Fundației Hermitage Capital. Potrivit lui Simone Gravite, achiziționarea de bunuri imobiliare a fost efectuată cu bani care au fost spălați prin companii offshore, originea cărora a fost ascunsă. Inițial banii au ajuns de la o bancă rusească la o companie din Cipru, deținută de un anumit „lider al unui grup criminal”, al cărui nume nu a fost dezvăluit de poliție. În consecință, după o investigație amănunțită privind originea activelor și probele colectate în timpul anchetei, s-a văzut că bunurile confiscate erau legate de o schemă de spălare a banilor”.
