The Spanish Connection, Trump-Torshin

The Spanish Guardia Civil which is a police organization in charge of Spanish ports, coasts and borders has been investigating the activities in Spain of Mr. Alexander Torshin who, according to today´s El País is a banker and close associate of Mr.  Vladimir Putin.  El País quotes its sources saying that he is “the godfather of a notorious Russian mafia” with close contacts in the Kremlin and the Trump camp. In Spain he was close to being arrested for suspicions of money laundering in Mallorca. He fled Spain and has not returned although he seems to enter and leave the United States with ease.  Mr. Torshin, again according to the Spanish press, is the president of Putin´s United Russia Party. For a fuller report on Mr. Torshin´s ties with President Putin and the Trump camp, read Mike Isikoff´s article in Yahoo News and today´s El País.
