According to sources, the defunct Russian military helicopter pilot who went down in Spain last week may have been tracked down due to his debauched lifestyle. After leaving Russia last year in a robbed Mi-8 helicopter and landing in Ukraine, Captain Maksim Kuzminov (main), 28, was discovered dead in an underground car park in Villajoyosa near Alicante on February 13.

After a Russian defector pilot was shot down near Benidorm, a Kremlin hit squad is believed to be on the loose in Spain. Following what seems to have been a Kremlin-orchestrated attack, Captain Maksim Kuzminov (left) was discovered full of bullets in an underground car park in Villajoyosa near Alicante earlier this month. By fleeing his homeland last August with a stolen Mi-8 helicopter and landing it in a Ukrainian military airfield, the 28-year-old had become a target of Russian death squads. According to police reports, the pistol used to murder him was Russian and the move is thought to have been a 'calling card,' and it is likely he was killed by a Kremlin hit squad headquartered in Costa Blanca. According to a survey, the same hit team may have been blamed for Sergey Protosenya, 55, who was found hanged after allegedly murdering his wife and teenage daughter (right) with an axe as they slept in 2022.
