Spain has arrested fraudsters adopting children from Russia
printable version
Spanish police arrested six Spaniards suspected of illegal adoptions of children from Russia, which cost the adoptive families in the 48-56 thousand euros.

Olga Zubakova was arrested, Russian by birth and Spanish passport, led by a group of offenders, against whom criminal proceedings were instituted. In addition, the arrested ex-husband Zubakovoy Asis, Jorge Rojas Caballero, and two of her Spanish friends. Police also arrested a Spanish couple living in the city of Posadas (Córdoba province). They had just arrived from Russia, which left two children, who were going to adopt. Russian authorities refused to grant them permission to adopt children, doubting the authenticity of a document on their capacity, which, apparently, was granted Zubakovoy. In addition, they were denied the adoption because of the fact that orphans are cousins. In Russia, adoption is permitted only sibling.

Police accused the first of four detainees in the falsification of documents for the adoption of children. A married couple living in Cordoba, is accused of collaborating with fraudsters.

As a result of unlawful actions by these individuals the cost of adoptions has increased twice, when in fact it does not exceed 15-20 thousand euros
