Natalia Veselnitskaya Biography

Natalia Veselnitskaya is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on February 22, 1975 in Moscow, Russia. Natalia Vladimirovna Veselnitskaya, Russian: Natal’ia Vladimirovna Vesel’nitskaia IPA: [na’taljj@ vjIsjIlj’njitsk@j@] – born 22 February 1975) a Russian lawyer. Pyotr Katsyv (an official in the Russian state-owned railways) and his son Denis Katsyv are her clients. She defended them against a New York money laundering charge. Veselnitskaya was charged in the United States with obstruction-of-justice charges. She is accused of trying to stop the Justice Department investigation into money laundering charges against Katsyv.

Veselnitskaya later that June screened Andrei Nekrasov’s film at the Newseum, Washington, D.C., which was critical of Magnitsky. She was involved in the production of The Magnitsky Act: Behind the Scenes. According to RussiaTV5, which is a station whose owners are close to Vladimir Putin, she provided “the true proofs and records to testimony” to the film crew. The European Parliament rejected Magnitsky’s film as “pro-Russian propaganda” in April 2016.

In October 2015, Veselnitskaya traveled to Manhattan, with her clients, for a deposition in the money laundering case. After being told, at the end of the deposition, that the counterparty would be required to reimburse her for her expenses, she billed the U.S. government $50,000, for an $800 meal, eight grappas, and a $995-per-night room at the Plaza Hotel.

In February 2015, the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative was created in Delaware. Rinat Akhmetshin, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Russia, who has worked as a Washington lobbyist since 1998, agreed to lobby for the foundation backed by Denis Katsyv. From 1986 to 1988, Akmetshin served in the Soviet Army, where he obtained the rank of sergeant and worked in a counterintelligence unit for the KGB. Veselnitskaya’s campaign included an unsuccessful attempt in Washington to repeal the Magnitsky Act and to “keep Mr. Magnitsky’s name off the law”.

Sergei Magnitsky was a tax accountant who claimed that Moscow law enforcement had stolen $230 million in tax rebates. He was sentenced to death. Magnitsky’s client Bill Browder secured the passage of the American Magnitsky Act in 2012. This imposed sanctions against the officials involved. Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by passing the Dima Yakovlev Law, which prohibits Americans from adopting Russian children.

She also claims to have won more than 300 legal cases. Veselnitskaya moved to private practice and focused on land transactions in the growing Moscow suburbs.

Veselnitskaya, a long-time attorney for Pyotr Katzyv, is vice-president at the state-owned Russian Railways and was previously the minister of transport in Moscow. Vladimir Solovyov (Russian journalist) accused Veselnitskaya of orchestrating unusual court decisions in Moscow regarding land. Veselnitskaya sued Spravedlivost for defamation. It had accused her, her ex-husband, and Katsyv, of seizing land through government connections. The Supreme Court of Russia dismissed her claims that IKEA owned land that was actually owned and managed by an old collective farm. Kamerton Consulting represented the interests of a Russian military unit in a property dispute case that spanned from 2005 to 2013.

Also on or around June 9, prior to and following the Trump Tower meeting, Veselnitskaya met with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn R. Simpson, ostensibly related to hearings that involved their mutual client Denis Katsyv, concerning charges of Russian tax fraud and money laundering originally uncovered by Magnitsky. The Simpson–Veselnitskaya meetings were denied by Veselnitskaya herself but confirmed by Simpson’s lawyer. This has led to speculation from Trump allies linking the meetings to Fusion GPS’s concurrent work assembling the Steele Dossier against then-candidate Trump.
