According to the department, an investigation is currently underway.

A source from the EFE agency previously reported that the murdered man was found to have a fake passport in the name of a 33-year-old citizen of Ukraine.

Spanish media previously disseminated reports that a body was found in Alicante, presumably that of Maxim Kuzminov, who hijacked a Russian Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine in 2023. The press does not provide any official confirmation of this information. The Spanish Civil Guard has also not yet confirmed reports of Kuzminov’s murder.

As the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, noted, Kuzminov became a moral corpse even when he was planning his crime.
