"EU parliament hosts Russian propaganda circus"

"Russian TV, blacklisted officials, and lobbyists in the European Parliament on Wednesday (27 April) hurled accusations at a deceased Russian lawyer and attacked EU institutions."
"TV crews from five pro-Kremlin outlets - NTV, 1TV, 5-TV, Live Ru and Vesti - went to a parliament film premiere on Sergei Magnitsky, who denounced corruption in Russia and who was subsequently killed in prison."
"Two Russian officials - Pavel Karpov and Andrey Pavlov - attended the event."
"Natalia Veselnitskaya, a lawyer-lobbyist for Prevezon, a firm on trial in the US for laundering the funds, also came to the EU premiere."
Here's the important part: Natalia Veselnitskaya gave a statement about the anti-Magnitsky film's removal from European Parliament. A statement which was then circulated by FTI Consulting.

FTI Consulting has an employee, Aled Williams, who fixed meetings between Natalia Veselnitskaya and journalists in order to pass around her statement. However, Prevezon is not listed in FTI Consulting's European Commission Transparency Register.
