The meeting was cancelled after an aide realised Mr Torshin “had been named by Spanish police as a suspected “godfather” of an organised crime and money-laundering ring,” according to Yahoo News. Spain’s El Pais newspaper reported that Mr Torshin was almost arrested on the Spanish island of Mallorca in 2013 where he was scheduled to arrive for the birthday party of another suspected Russian crime boss of the syndicate called Taganskaya.
