A woman has been arrested as part of a probe into a crime gang suspected of laundering dirty money linked to the 219 million euro ($233 million) Magnitsky corruption case in Russia, Spain and the Europol international police body said on Wednesday.
Spanish police said the suspect was a woman, whose name has not been disclosed, and that Spain was looking to seize three properties, two high-end cars and 19 bank accounts linked to the suspect.
Russian investment fund lawyer Sergei Magnitsky died in jail in 2009 after he accused officials of stealing $230 million through tax fraud. He was posthumously convicted of tax evasion.
