The National Police have released images on 'YouTube' of their most-wanted criminals (not terrorists), including the two gunmen responsible for the robbery of a bank in Cambrils on 25th October that left one employee dead.
Via 'YouTube' the police are asking for cooperation from members of the public who might have seen these criminals, or have information relevant to their capture.
Through its channel, the police have posted pictures of the individuals who are wanted by the Spanish or foreign police, and who have arrest warrants out on them for murder, torture, drug trafficking, paedophilia, theft, fraud or crimes against humanity.
Such a simple idea, but one that maybe successful, due to the amount of people that search “YouTube”.
Internet users can see the faces of individuals like
Rafael Bueno Latorre, (55) who is charged with four murders and more than eight robberies with intimidation, and has managed to escape justice on three occasions, most recently in 1984, he escaped from the Alcalá-Meco prison (Madrid) after pointing a fake pistols at prison warders.
Daren Michael Elarmo, (41) from UK, who moved to California in 2004, where he committed kidnapping and sexual assault of minors. He has worked as a real estate valuer, helicopter pilot and network administrator, and police researchers believe that he may currently reside in Spain.
Ioan Clamparu, of Romanian origin, is accused of being the ringleader human trafficking network between 2000 and 2004, and could have forced over a hundred Romanian women into prostitution in Spain. He also goes by the name of Robert Wieciorkiewicz.
Zamolskis Romas, alias "Zamas", (30) from Lithuania, is accused of two murders as well as illegal possession of weapons. Police warn that he changes his image frequently and could be in any European country.
Christopher Guest More, (33) from UK, is wanted for the murder of a man in a country house in Cheshire in June 2003. He committed the crime with several others, who have all been detained, and police suspect he may be hiding in Spain or Malta.
Citizens can provide any information about the criminals by calling 091, any police station or the Fugitive Location group - 915 822 510 - or by e-mail: fugitivos@policia.es.

Spain Rejects Truce by Basque Separatist Group
The Spanish government on today rejected a new ceasefire announcement by the separatist group ETA and ruled out negotiations on an independent Basque homeland, saying the militants have been decimated by arrests and are desperate to regroup and rearm.
Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said the ETA cannot be trusted after shattering a 2006 truce with a deadly car bombing. He said its statement Sunday by three hooded militants speaking in a video falls short of what Basque society and other Spaniards demand: that ETA renounce violence for good.
"The word truce, as the idea of a limited peace to open a process of dialogue, is dead," Perez Rubalcaba, adding that Spain will be as tough as ever against ETA.
"The Interior Ministry will keep its anti-terrorism policy intact, absolutely intact. We are not going to change that policy one bit, not a single comma," he told Spanish National Television.
ETA has killed more than 825 people as it fought for an independent homeland in parts of northern Spain and south-western France since the late 1960s. Its last deadly attack in Spain was in July 2009, when it killed two policemen with a car bomb. Nearly 240 of its members have been arrested since 2008. It is considered a terrorist group by the United States and the European Union.
Perez Rubalcaba says the militant group declared the truce because it is so weak it cannot stage attacks.
The cease-fire statement left several key questions unanswered. Besides silence on whether the ETA will surrender its weapons, it did not say if the truce was open-ended and permanent, like the one declared in 2006 and which led to talks with the government, or whether it would halt other activities like extorting money from business leaders or recruiting members.
Nor was there any mention of whether the cease-fire could be monitored by international observers as called for Friday by two Basque parties that back independence: ETA's outlawed political wing Batasuna and a more moderate pro-independence party called Eusko Alkartasuna.
Since late last year, divisions have widened between ETA and the political parties that support it. Jailed ETA veterans have also been distancing themselves from the group, and French police have cracked down, denying militants a neighbouring haven.
Friday's statement marked the first time the political groups had put down in writing that they wanted ETA to work toward independence through peaceful means, rather than with violence.
Perez Rubalcaba said Monday that ETA's breaking the 2006 ceasefire -- with a massive car bombing at Madrid airport that left two people dead -- cost the group credibility even among political supporters who seek Basque independence.
The minister said ETA's new tactic is to seek new negotiations and, if in a few months or a year the government still refuses, ETA will say it has no choice but to revert to bombs or bullets.
He said the ETA wants to impose its will, either through violence or dialogue "and the state is going to tell it time and time again 'no, no and no.'"

IVA (VAT) Tax increase
Please note, in July (2010) the Spanish Government will increase the "reduced rate of IVA", which applies to most property purchases, from 7% to 8%. For example, on a property price of 200.000€, you will have to find an additional 2.000€ to cover the tax increase.
In Andalucia, this tax has already been applied to property sales where the price
exceeds 400.000€.
