Russian detectives are dropping their investigation into the death in prison of the lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky.

The Investigative Committee said no crime was committed against him. He was detained in 2008 after revealing alleged an embezzlement scam by interior ministry officials.

His family and the Presidential Human Rights Council say he was badly beaten and denied medical treatment.

Despite his death, he is himself being put on trial for fraud.
