Pro-Russian blogger and politician Anatoly Shariy in detention in Spain on May 4, according to Ukraine’s security services.
Shariy is suspect of high treason by the Ukrainian authorities.
“He carried out illegal activities to the detriment of Ukraine’s national security in the information sphere. There is reason to believe that Anatoly Shariy acted on behalf of foreign structures,” the Security Service of Ukraine said in a statement on Facebook.
Shariy was a former journalist who fled Ukraine in 2012.
