MADRID, March 5 (UPI) -- Ukraine's former Finance Minister Yuri Kolobov, who is wanted in connection to alleged fraud and theft of millions in public funds, was arrested in Spain on Wednesday.
Ukrainian officials said Kolobov worked in conjunction with President Viktor Yanukovych, former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and Georgy Dzekon, the former head of Ukrtelecom, a telecommunications company, to pilfer millions in public funds. Officials are now working to find the missing money. Yanukovich was forced out of power in 2014.
