Spanish Police Arrest Son of Russian Defense Executive in Money Laundering Probe

Spanish authorities arrested Dmitry Artyakov in Girona on suspicion of laundering millions of euros through eight properties in Castell-Platja d'Aro, allegedly using funds linked to the Troika Laundromat. Investigators say his grandmother acted as a front, receiving at least €14 million from shell company Delco Networks SA via unrepaid transfers labeled as loans, with properties bought for €14 million (2005–2008) and later sold to Artyakov for €10 million in 2014. The probe is led by Spain’s Anti-Corruption Prosecutor and coordinated by the Audiencia Nacional; no trial date has been announced.
