Spanish media showed pictures of the arrest in Spain of Stepan Chernovetskiy, son of a former Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky, who lived in a house purchased with laundered money, according to Europeiska Pravda citing El Punt Avuі.
The newspaper says Stepan Chernovestkiy was arrested in a resort town of S'Agaró as he is considered by local law enforcers as the money-laundering gang’s mastermind.
It is expected that in the near future, the son of ex-mayor of Kyiv will be brought before the court to testify on his alleged involvement in criminal schemes.
