An observation related to Crime Novel Week 2012

Last week saw another edition of "BCNegra" (Black Barcelona, i.e. Barcelona Crime Novel Week). One of the authors who came there was Roberto Saviano, famous and persecuted by the Mafia for Gomorrah, who talked about his latest book "Come, escape with me"  (that's the title in its Italian, Spanish and Catalan editions). On Wednesday, Feb. 8, he was cited in the local press as saying that "Spain is a paradise for all the European Mafia clans who have taken up there a second or their principal residence".
As if to prove his point, on Thursday, Feb. 9, Spanish police forces captured three Serbian mafiosi in Valencia: Luka Bojovic and Vladimir Milisavljevic, the Crazy One, members of the Zemum clan, considered the instigator and the material author, respectively, of the murder of Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic in 2003, plus Sinisa Petric, aka Baku, all of them members of the paramilitary group Arkan's Tigers during the Balkan wars of the 1990s. The news article reporting on this also said that Bojovic's wife and kids had resided in different locations of Alicante province and the Canary Islands.
El País offers this article in English to explain how the assassins were captured.
