Tattoos led to the arrest of a British fugitive in a bar in Fuengirola |
||||
|
He was sought by Surrey police investigating the murder of Sarah Thomas, a 38-year-old mother of three who was found stabbed to death at her home in Nutfield on 10 May. The appeal described Baxendale as a "white, about 5ft 7in tall, slim with blue eyes," and said: " he may walk with a limp." But it was the detailed description of his body art that led to his arrest on the Costa del Sol in the early hours of Monday morning. "He also has a scar on his scalp, tribal tattoos on each shoulder, a dragon tattoo on his right upper arm and a scorpion tattoo on the left side of his chest," said the appeal issued by Crimestoppers. A British person recognised the tattoos when they came across Baxendale drinking in a nightspot in Fuengirola near Malaga on Sunday night and alerted local police. He was arrested
and is in custody pending extradition back to the UK.

Spanish Tax Authorities
Concerned about Unpaid Taxes |
||||
|
Approximately 3000 secret Swiss bank account holders are being questioned by the Spanish tax authorities in relation to a pile of unpaid taxes – said Elena Salgado, Spain’s Finance Minister. Furthermore, the Spanish treasury has issued orders to all account holders, demanding a complete detail of their account(s), specifically pointing towards a fair explanation of the origin of the funds. Of course, later on, the Swiss account holders are supposed to pay penalty and taxes on their hidden assets. Salgado told the media that the fight against monetary fraud is gaining intensity and no one knows it better than the account holders themselves. She refused to reveal the amount of money involved but said that the Spanish tax authorities received the intel on those accounts, from French officials. According to a rough estimate, the accounts held by some of the wealthiest people of Spain, hold a sum of 4.9 billion pounds. Since 2004, Spain has recovered roughly 28 billion pounds from financial defaulters. The
Spanish Prime Minister – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero informed
the media about the formation of a new strategy that was intended
to investigate the whereabouts of undisclosed money in national
and foreign Spanish accounts. However, under the “tax amnesty”
slogan, the account holders have been allowed a repatriation of
funds without the need of explaining: how, when and why they were
created.
