It is saying on the Spanish national news tonight that the four Germans were policemen??????
This is truly awful! What sort of people beat up a 70 year old?!?! And trying to bribe the police just shows their arrogant, entitled mindset. They should get no bail and be kept on remand until heavily sentenced!
The law needs to come down heavily on this lot of louts. Who is going to recompense the taxi driver for his loss of earnings? For his medical expenses? For his family's distress? For the psychological damage to him and his job? The thugs must pay for all this and be in debt to him for their vicious crime for years to come. I wish there was a way for the taxi driver to pursue a private prosecution against them and seek substantial damages.
Not the sort of behavior we were led to believe occurs in small upmarket hotels and villas in the countryside. Maybe the plebs from the tourist resorts are slowly but surely gravitating there. Or maybe their old clients have realized that the coast has a lot more going for it in terms of entertainment and dining out, as well, of course, the vistas.
