The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office repeatedly sent requests for arrest of the founder of the Hermitage Capital, however, it was left without response. The most recent report on a new request was announced in December 2017. The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow ruled that Browder was guilty of deliberate bankruptcy, tax evasion and sentenced him in absence for 9 years.
