British media discovers the gangster war on the Costa del crime
In a revealing overview article in The Scottish Sun, links are made between various underworld murders on the Spanish costas.

What is wrong in Spain for God's sake ? The Scottish Sun is now asking this question with a broad overview article about the gangster war on the costas. A subject that we have written a lot about in the last few months in Panorama.

'The coastline's underbelly of violence has exploded onto city streets in recent months, resulting in a wave of executions, bombings and barbaric gangland slays.'

In other words: in the always turbulent underworld of the Spanish coast, there has been a violent explosion in recent months. Result: liquidations, bomb attacks and cruel torture practices.

Expats
British expats fear for their lives now that the spiral of violence seems unstoppable in cities like Marbella, Benidorm and Estepona. Children of this new class travel with bodyguards to school. The police adds that it is difficult to deal with the crime, now that so many criminals have settled in the thousands of well-secured white villas in the hills just a few kilometers from the coastline.

Experts report that gangs from thirteen core countries are active on the Costa's. With a large participation from notorious states like Russia, Colombia and Albania. And it does not look like it will get better soon. A few bomb attacks would be a sign on the wall.

Corruption
The fact that the Spanish coast is also a 'superhighway' for drug trafficking is an important aspect of the increase in violence. Crime organizations settle accounts on the spot, where a human life does not count. Add to that the corruption of Spanish government services and the problem is there.
