The Spanish prosecutors have refused to arrest and extradite to Ukraine a fugitive Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko, according to Ukrayinska Pravda.
"The court heard the prosecution's position and asked me if I agree to voluntary extradition. I replied that I don't, and that my case is in fact a political persecution. The court found our arguments sufficiently convincing not to arrest me," Onyshchenko said after the court meeting, Ukrayinska Pravda reported.
However, he refused to present a copy of the court ruling.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Onyshchenko claimed he had applied for a German working visa, rather than German citizenship.
