The list also includes head of legal department at Russia's Prosecutor General's Office Oleg Logunov and State Duma member Andrey Lugovoy, who is suspected by UK prosecutors of poisoning Russia's former intelligence officer Alexander Litvinenko, the DELFI news website said.
Sergei Magnitsky was a Hermitage Capital Management lawyer, who was arrested in Moscow on tax evasion charges and died in custody in 2009. The United States adopted the Magnitsky Act in 2012 that imposed travel bans and asset freezes on Russians allegedly involved in his death.
