Shocking Death Near Benidorm
A Ukrainian ex-official was found dead in a pool at a Spanish resort, and now authorities are probing whether Kremlin assassins are to blame.
The death has eerie parallels to a previous high-profile killing, at the exact same location.
Ukrainian Found Bleeding, Face Down
61-year-old Igor Hrushevsky, a former Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs official, was discovered lifeless and bleeding from the ear, floating face down in a pool.
A neighbor tried to revive him, but it was too late.
Intelligence Services Launch Investigation
Spain’s elite CNI intelligence agency is now on the case.
While police initially called it an accidental drowning, insiders say the CNI suspects something more sinister, possibly a Kremlin hit job.
Defector Murdered 18 Months Ago
This isn’t the first suspicious death at the La Cala Alta estate.
In early 2024, Russian helicopter pilot Maksim Kuzminov, who defected to Ukraine, was gunned down in the estate’s garage in a suspected Russian operation.
“He Didn’t Drown”
Locals are sceptical of the drowning theory.
One resident, ‘Blanca’, pointed out that the pool isn’t even deep enough to drown in.
“The water only comes up to my neck and I’m short!” she said.
Signs of a Professional Hit
In Kuzminov’s case, a getaway car was found torched nearby.
Investigators suspect the same kind of professional, organized hit could be behind Hrushevsky’s death.
Spanish press reports that both killings may be linked to Russian intelligence using organized crime hitmen.
If true, it suggests a chilling pattern of political assassinations on European soil.
The $400,000 Defection That May Have Sparked It All
Kuzminov reportedly received £400,000 for stealing a Russian Mi-8 helicopter and defecting to Ukraine, an embarrassment for Putin.
The Kremlin branded him a traitor and placed him on its most-wanted list.
Seduced by the Sun and a Phone Call?
Authorities believe Kuzminov may have been lured back into danger by a call to an ex-girlfriend.
His attempt at a quiet life under a false identity in sunny Alicante may have sealed his fate.
