He’s been name-checked by the Russian leader and warned by Moscow’s top prosecutor not to sleep soundly at night, but Bill Browder is unbowed in his crusade to expose Putin’s criminality.
I’m waiting for Bill Browder, the Russia-focused investor turned crusading anti-Putin campaigner, at a relaxed, airy and relatively anonymous outlet of the London Turkish restaurant chain Haz. He has scheduled it for the unusual-but-not-too-unusual time of 1pm.
He arrives bang on the hour, and sits down. As I switch on my voice recorder I ask him offhandedly why he’s chosen this restaurant, whether he comes here often. His answer catches me off guard.
