Spanish police have arrested people suspected of siphoning funds from Russian oil firm YUKOS without the company?s knowledge as part of a bigger money-laundering ring, a source close to the investigation said yesterday. ?These are individuals who from inside the Russian company appear to have diverted sums of money ... which then left the country without the knowledge of the company nor the tax authorities.?

Spanish police said on Saturday they had cracked a money-laundering operation worth up to 250 million euros, which might have links to YUKOS but did not specify what those links might be.
