Did you not notice the large villas, the Russians etc in very expensive cars.
That big statue in Banus, the giant, that was donated by the Russian Mafia.
Its one place I learn’t that if you have a driver cut you up and you feel the need to do some road rage, think twice before acting.
On the Golden Mile after some heavy rain I found out how slippery the roads get, I rear ended a Merc, not a large hit, but enough to start sweating, turned out to be a Russian guy, very nice guy, he immiedietly got out, looked at the car, noticed some damage and promtly said no problems, forget it, he didn’t want Insurance details to be swapped or any repairs paid for, nice guy, surprised the hell out of me, we both drove off straight away.
Did a few calls to Russian clients, don’t know if they were Mafia, but they had Ferraris, designer suits and very thick, not stupid, just very backward, not the kind you meet in suits, the Director of companies type, more thugs in suits type that cannot work out basic mathmatics so instead give you money, then ask if thats enough and keep tha change, when there isn’t any.
Don’t worry about the petty crime, its the ones that run the type of crime that involves bodies and concrete you should be concerned about and the Irish, there are a lot of ex IRA type peeps in CDS, like the recent hit on some Irish guy in a bar there a few weeks ago, must be a real downer when someone gets shot in the head in your local bar in Benalmadena, seems to happen every year.
The CDS also has the reputation of being Englands Largest council estate, with Benalmadena streets seeing serious anti social events the likes of which not found in the UK.
Thanks to the amount of families fleeing council estates in the UK for the cheap sun and sangria and there children fighting with local Spaniards and South American gangs.
