The two alleged killers of the Governor of the NE Russian region of Magadan in 2002, Martin D. and Alexandre Z, have been arrested in Marbella.

The two men were found, in the Bahía de Marbella urbanisation, in a joint operation between the GRECO police in Málaga and the UDYCO organised crime squad on the Costa del Sol, and are now likely to be extradited to Russia where they face several charges.

The two are considered to be important members of a Russian criminal organisation and had been hiding in Marbella, according to an Interior Ministry statement. They held false identity documents at the time of their arrest.
