Murdered on the school run: The controversial Ukrainian gunned down in Madrid

Andriy Portnov, a controversial Ukrainian figure known for corruption and Russian ties, was gunned down in a Madrid suburb after dropping his children off at school. Portnov's murder has sparked little grief in Ukraine due to his past actions and behavior, including threats to journalists and influence under the pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Portnov, often described as the architect of a corrupt legal system, faced criticism and sanctions for his actions and was believed to have enemies in both Russian and criminal circles.
