Costa Del Crime--------

Re: Costa Del Crime--------
Was a good programme. Nostalic to see the old Spain. They had old criminals going back to their old haunts. Winns bar was featured, knew it well because I had a relative who lived down the lane from it. Had some good times there in the 80's. If it got full people would pop home and bring some chairs. There would be a mix of people in, I remember the chairman of Findus frozen foods used to go in. Great British food and puddings too. Not the same now though

Looks like the recent successful campaign has netted another big fish.

Re: Costa Del Crime--------
I get really annoyed when the UK media keep on referring to the Costs Del Crime. On an every day basis reported crime is very low, much lower than comparable areas in UK.
The term, started to be used when the extradition treaty between UK and Spain lapsed, thus people wanted in UK could not be extradited and Spain was therefore a safe haven for them. The treaty was eventually signed and although those already here were still safe, new arrivals were not.

Read this Blog on Why Spain is 'rotten to the core' with British Criminals ... I tend to agree here !

The reporter initially gave the impression it was probably not a genuine story and rather some sort of dubious Hartlepool wind-up, however it now appears to have been correct, probably caused by the victim himself and said by the police not to be terrorist related.
