MOSCOW, April 3 (Itar-Tass) — The Moscow Ostankino District Court has upheld the reopening of the criminal case of late Hermitage Capital Management attorney Sergei Magnitsky on the tax evasion charges. The court thus declined the appeal from Magnitsky’s mother.

Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin cancelled the resolution, which ended the case due to the attorney’s death, in 2011 pursuant to the Constitutional Court judgment on the possibility of rehabilitation of late defendants.
