BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Bill Browder

Stephen Sackur talks to Bill Browder, the businessman battling Russia's 'criminal state'.

In mid November 2009 a young Moscow lawyer died in police custody. It was the latest twist in a dark tale of alleged fraud, corruption and intimidation which has pitted Bill Browder against the Russian government. 

He used to run a multi-billion dollar investment business in Moscow, now he calls Russia a criminal state, which he is determined to confront. Has he picked a fight he can never win?
