THE alleged mastermind of a money laundering ring believed to have siphoned funds from Russian oil giant Yukos has been arrested in Spain.
Lawyer Fernando del Valle Vergara, a Chilean who has lived on the Costa del Sol for more than 20 years, is the latest person held in the case.
Since last week, Spanish authorities have arrested 41 people in connection with the alleged ring, which reportedly laundered £175 million for gangs involved in murder, drug trafficking, arms dealing and prostitution.
