Spanish court sent so-called influential criminal Shakro Kalashov to prison for seven years and half. He was found guilty in the legalization of the criminal capital. According to the Associated Press, the court imposed fine of 20 million Euro on Kalashov.

Georgian citizen Shakro Kalashov, who is known among criminal circles with the nickname Shakro Maladoi, was considered to be the leader of the Russian Mafia.

The Spanish court confirmed that Kalashov’s gang invested the criminal money in real estate, restaurants and luxurious cars in Spain.

Short time before, other members of the criminal gang were convicted under the same charge; among them were two Georgian citizens, two Russian and one Ukrainian citizens. Everybody will be deported from Spain after they serve one-fourth of their term in Spain.
