Spanish police say they have arrested three lawyers suspected of laundering money for Russian mobsters.The National Police said in a statement Wednesday the three were picked up in the southern cities of Malaga and Marbella and said they worked for one of the most powerful Russian organized crime gangs.Police said investigators found evidence of bogus financial transactions by a complex network of companies that allegedly transferred proceeds from illegal activities in Russia to Spain for investment in houses, cars and other property.The arrests are part of an operation against organized crime in Spain under the orders of Judge Baltasar Garzon.
In a first phase, police arrested 20 suspected members of the gang last June in nationwide raids.
