Spanish Court Seals Investigation Into Portnov Contract Killing Near Madrid School

News summary

Andriy Portnov, former deputy head of the Ukrainian Presidential Administration under Viktor Yanukovych, was murdered near the American School in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, after dropping off his children. Witnesses, including Argentine coach Diego Simeone and his wife, saw the shooting, which involved multiple gunshots—reports indicate he was shot five times, including fatal shots to the back and head. Investigators found nine shell casings at the scene, suggesting the assailants intended to ensure Portnov's death, possibly emptying an entire magazine. Police suspect three perpetrators: one shooter and two accomplices who helped the killer escape into a nearby wooded area. The motive remains unclear, though some sources speculate it may be linked to debts or Portnov's recent attempt to transfer a mansion worth 2.5 million euros to his children. Spanish authorities have sealed the case files while continuing their investigation, with no arrests made as of now.
