Overview

• Ihor Hrushevskyi, 61, a former senior official in Ukraine’s Interior Ministry anti-organized crime unit, was found dead face-down in the communal pool of the Cala Alta complex in Villajoyosa on June 29.
• Local investigators reported no visible signs of violence on Hrushevskyi’s body even as forensic results remain inconclusive and foul play has not been ruled out.
• Ukraine’s consulate in Spain is coordinating the repatriation of Hrushevskyi’s remains under the guidance of the foreign ministry.
• The Cala Alta resort was the scene of Maksim Kuzminov’s assassination after his defection when the former Russian pilot was found shot in the complex’s underground garage in February 2024.
• Authorities and analysts view the successive unexplained deaths at the resort as part of a broader pattern of extraterritorial targeting linked to the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
