According to several publications and online reports, Dmitry Artyakov, the son of the first deputy head of the state corporation Rostec, has been arrested in Spain on suspicion of laundering illegally obtained funds.
The reports also indicate that the attention of investigative authorities—including tax services and the FSB—is focused on Dmitry Artyakov’s real estate and business connections. The publications mention the names of his business partners and acquaintances, such as Igor Leonov and Vladimir Pronin, some of whom may have prompted investigations by law enforcement agencies targeting Artyakov’s adversaries.
Media sources also report that public organizations and activists are raising the question of possibly designating the detainee as a “foreign agent,” although no official decisions on this matter have been made at the time of publication.
