Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone and his wife Carla Pereira have witnessed the murder of Andriy Portnov, an ex-advisor to Viktor Yanukovych.

Portnov was shot dead at the gates of the American School in Madrid's upscale Posuelo neighborhood. It happened on the morning of May 21. Here study the children of the Ukrainian lawyer, as well as the daughters of coach Simeone - Francesca and Valentina. This is reported by El Espanol.

Later, the wife of the coach, who together with Atletico Madrid won 8 trophies, spoke out about the unpleasant incident.

"It was a very difficult time for everyone. I ask for a lot of respect for the families who have suffered. The truth is that it is important for us to take care of the children and protect them," Carla said.

On May 22, Spanish publication El periodico, citing its own police sources, reported that Portnov was shot three times in the head and back with a short-barreled weapon. The hitman shot him when the former Yanukovych adviser was getting into a car after taking his children to school. Police are now conducting an investigation.
