German government joins Holland in formally supporting an EU wide Magnitsky Act. [View all]

Great to see Germany getting behind this. Ireland should have brought in their version before now, so with Germany taking this up, there's a good chance we will see EU wide progress on this. With the UK potentially leaving the EU, Ireland is an obvious target for Russian money and I would be concerned the Irish government would be happy to take that money coming in, and say nothing. It is no coincidence that the Russians are planning to build a new Embassy that is way out of proportion to the number of Russians in the country.
