According to Ukraine’s SBU security service, Shariy, a Ukrainian citizen, was detained by the Spanish National Police on May 4.
“This became possible due to close cooperation between the Security Service of Ukraine with the Prosecutor General’s Office and international partners, and as a result of a multi-level special operation by Ukrainian law enforcement officers,” an SBU statement reads.
