You can run – but you can't hide from the gunmen on Spain's Costa del Crime | UK news | The Observer: "Spanish government is concerned about the way the country has become a honeypot for international criminals: there are 27,000 foreigners in jail, more than a third of the prison population, and an increase of 242% in the past decade. A law was introduced in April to close loopholes used in money-laundering and to impose new obligations on lawyers and estate agents when large quantities of cash are involved. Criminals who use casinos to launder money now face a new, if minor, hurdle; more than €2,000 in chips can only be obtained with identification."
