When a sample made of conducting metal is exposed to a femtosecond laser pulse, ultrafast demagnetization of the sample can be observed. One of the possible mechanisms is superdiffusive spin-dependent transport [1] of hot electrons excited by laser from the localized d band to the s one above the Fermi level. Here, we generalize this model for the case of a magnetic multilayer with noncollinear magnetizations. The spin-dependent transport through the interfaces between the layers is described by energy-dependent reflections and transmissions taking into account spin mixing. It is shown that laser-induced demagnetization of the multilayer depends on the magnetic configuration. Moreover, the angular dependence of spin transfer torque [2] acting on the magnetizations is estimated. [1] M. Battiato, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 027203 (2010). [2] P. Baláž et al., J.
