You know about Sergei Magnitsky.

But what do you know about Alexander Perepilichnyy?
"Police investigating the death of a Russian whistle-blower lost evidence of threats, multi-million pound bank transfers and links to a major money laundering scheme, an inquest heard".

He died while jogging near his home in November 2012 in Weybridge.
