Computer programmer from Russia arrested in Spain: Russian Embassy

Madrid: A Russian computer programmer, Pyotr Levashov, has been captured in the Spanish city of Barcelona, a representative for the Russian government office in Madrid said on Sunday.

It was vague why Levashov was captured. The government office representative declined to give points of interest for his capture, and Spanish police and the inside service were not accessible for input on Sunday.

Russian TV channel RT detailed that Levashov was captured under a U.S. worldwide capture warrant and was associated with being required in hacking assaults connected to charged obstruction in last year`s U.S. decision.

Dwindle Carr, a representative for the U.S. Equity Department's criminal division, stated: "The U.S. case stays under seal, so we have no data to give right now."

The criminal division is separate from the national security division, which is in charge of examining state-supported digital violations.

A U.S. Bureau of Justice authority said it was a criminal matter without an evident national security association.

Spanish specialists advised the Russian government office of Levashov`s capture on Friday, the consulate representative said.

In January, Spanish police captured another Russian PC software engineer, whose name was given as "Lisov" and who was needed by the United States for driving a money related misrepresentation organize.

The U.S. government has formally blamed Russia for hacking Democratic Party messages to help the crusade of Republican President Donald Trump. The U.S. Congress is additionally looking at connections amongst Russia and Trump amid the decision crusade.

Russian authorities, including President Vladimir Putin, have more than once denied that Russia attempted to impact the race.
