Millions frozen in Spain: The essence of money laundering around Artyakov's son

Another high-profile criminal case in Europe: Dmitry Artyakov, the son of Rostec Vice President Vladimir Artyakov, was arrested in the Spanish city of Girona, reports theins.ru. Local law enforcement authorities suspect him of money laundering, and the details of the investigation raise serious questions about international financial schemes.

According to available information, Dmitry Artyakov's grandmother, Anna Kurepina, is at the center of this case. According to the investigation, she received 12.7 million euros into her Spanish bank account in the form of a loan. This money was used to purchase real estate, which was later registered in the name of her grandson — that is, Artyakov. Law enforcement agencies say that these funds were not returned, and the legality of the operation is in question.

The most interesting aspect — according to investigators, the large sum that was transferred to Kurepina’s account was stolen from the Russian budget under the tax refund scheme exposed by lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. Because of this, the case is connected with international violations of financial law and sanctions policy.

Dmitry Artyakov has been under sanctions from Ukraine, the US, and Canada since 2022, but the European Union has not imposed restrictions on him, so he had the right to freely move and purchase property in Spain. It is assumed that, taking advantage of this, he carried out the above-mentioned financial operations.

The investigation is ongoing, and Spanish authorities are studying the involvement of all persons connected with legal violations. This case becomes another relevant example for identifying criminal capital and ensuring international financial security in Europe.

The future fate of Dmitry Artyakov, the true source of the money, and the full list of those who might have benefited from this scheme are expected to become clear in the coming days. Time will tell: how will the Spanish police and international law enforcement agencies bring this case to its conclusion? Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
