Spanish authorities are investigating the fatal shooting of a pro-Russia former Ukrainian MP as a likely organised crime hit but have not ruled out political motives, a police source said Thursday.

Andriy Portnov, 51, was shot dead on Wednesday morning outside an American private school in Pozuelo de Alarcon, a wealthy Madrid suburb, shortly after dropping off his children.
