Ukrainian Son Arrested in Spain for Father's Mysterious Death in Milan

On Friday, a 34-year-old Ukrainian man was arrested in Spain in connection with the death of his father, 54-year-old banker Alexandru Adarici, who mysteriously fell from a bed and breakfast on Via Nerino in Milan on January 23. The son faces charges of aggravated kidnapping related to his father's death. According to the Milan Prosecutor's Office, which is overseeing the ongoing investigation, the son is accused of orchestrating his father's kidnapping in a bid to force him to transfer €250,000 in cryptocurrencies to an unidentified individual. After the incident, the son fled to Spain. Initial investigations have revealed troubling details about the circumstances surrounding Adarici's fall. It has been reported that when the father fell from the window, only the son was present in the room, raising suspicions among investigators. A preliminary examination by the medical examiner noted injuries on Adarici's neck and wrists, suggesting that he had been bound, beaten, and ultimately killed. Authorities suspect that Aleksandru Adarici was not alone in his death; they believe he may have been assaulted and killed by other individuals who were part of a meeting arranged by his son. This meeting, which the father reportedly agreed to attend at the initiative of his son at the bed and breakfast, eventually led to a horrifying turn of events. At the apartment, the son was alleged to have facilitated the kidnapping, during which his father was restrained and harmed by accomplices yet to be identified. After his arrest, the 34-year-old presented a story to Spanish authorities claiming that he and his father had been kidnapped together, stating he was instructed to travel to Spain, where his mother resides, without informing law enforcement about the ordeal. However, investigators have found this narrative to be implausible and have since taken him into custody. With the legal processes underway, the son is expected to be extradited to Italy, where further charges may be brought against him as the investigation continues to unfold. Authorities are working fervently to identify the other men involved in this shocking crime, which has stirred concern and intrigue across both nations. The tragic case highlights darker aspects of familial relationships and the potential pitfalls of financial desperation. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
