Details are sketchy, but the BBC reports Russian arrested in Spain 'over US election hacking'.
Spanish police have arrested a Russian programmer for alleged involvement in "hacking" the US election, Spanish press reports have said.
Pyotr Levashov, arrested on 7 April in Barcelona, has now been remanded in custody.
A "legal source" also told the AFP news agency that Mr Levashov was the subject of an extradition request by the US.
The request is due to be examined by Spain's national criminal court, the agency added.
El Confidencial, a Spanish news website, has said that Mr Levashov's arrest warrant was issued by US authorities over suspected "hacking" that helped Donald Trump's campaign.
This could get interesting, if it pans out and if the Trump regime doesn’t find a way to bury the investigation. There’s a bit more at the link. At least we have a live Russian body this time.
UPDATE: accumbens points to additional reports at Reuters and the NY Times.
