A major scandal has emerged in Europe regarding a new criminal case. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Dmitriy Artyakov, the son of Vladimir Artyakov, vice president of the "Rostex" company, has been arrested in the city of Girona, Spain. Local law enforcement agencies have charged him with money laundering.
Serious questions regarding international financial schemes are arising during the investigation process. According to reports, Dmitriy Artyakov's grandmother, Anna Kurepina, plays a central role in this case.
According to the investigation materials, she transferred 12.7 million euros to a bank account in Spain as a loan. This money was intended for purchasing real estate, which was later registered in Artyakov's name.
Law enforcement agencies have expressed doubts that these funds have not been returned and that the operations are illegal. Investigators believe that the large sum deposited into Kurepina's account may have been stolen from the Russian budget.
This money was transferred through a tax refund scheme exposed by lawyer Sergey Magnitsky. Therefore, the case is related to international financial crimes and sanctions.
Although Dmitriy Artyakov has been under sanctions from Ukraine, the USA, and Canada since 2022, the European Union has not imposed any restrictions on him. As a result, he has been able to move freely in Spain and purchase property.
It is assumed that financial transactions have been carried out using this opportunity. Currently, the investigation is ongoing.
Spanish officials are trying to identify all individuals involved in the wrongdoing. This case is of significant importance in identifying criminally obtained funds in Europe and ensuring international financial security.
Dmitriy Artyakov's future, the true source of the funds, and who is interested in this financial scheme are expected to become clear in the coming days. Over time, we will see how the Spanish police and international law enforcement agencies conclude this case.
