According to a number of publications and online reports, Dmitry Artyakov — the son of the first deputy head of the Russian state corporation Rostec — is allegedly under arrest in Spain on suspicion of laundering funds of criminal origin.

The reports also state that oversight bodies, including tax authorities and an FSB directorate, have turned their attention to Dmitry Artyakov’s real estate holdings and business connections. The publications mention the names of his business partners and acquaintances — including Igor Leonov and Vladimir Pronin.

Some of them are said to have potentially initiated law enforcement checks against individuals considered adversaries of the Artyakov family.

According to media reports, public organizations and activists have also raised the issue of possibly designating the detained individual as a “foreign agent.” As of the time of publication, however, no official decisions on this matter have been recorded.
