      He weren't that smart. He stayed in Spain and got nicked. Spain and UK had plugged the extradition loop-hole in 1985 because of the amount of criminals hiding out there and the Costa del Sol being a well known criminal safe-haven and community for UK criminals.
      Freddie was nicked in 1989 and still to this day thinks it was illegal and that the Spanish government had no legal basis to extradite him because he never did anything wrong in Spain.
      He clearly doesn't understand what extradition means or how the political situation had changed between Spain and UK by the mid-80's.
      Extradition means the country you did a crime in can make a request for you to be extradited to face justice. Although the Spanish-UK extradition treaty wasn't formerly signed until 2001 due to the amount of rising drugs and violent crime caused by British criminals hiding out in Spain, there was a new understanding reached in 1985 between Spain and UK, that criminals could be extradited under the existing Interpol international arrest warrant system in place. So that's how the UK police were able to arrest and extradite Freddie and why Spain's police were happy to do the arresting and fly him back to UK.

      ​@@marksmith7425 Freddie Foreman never tortured anybody for a start. And the "countless" people he killed were Ginger Marks and Frank Mitchell. That's 2 people. Marks was killed for shooting Foreman's brother with a shotgun, and Mitchell was killed for threatening to kill the Krays, who were Fred's partners. I don't think anybody other than teenage boys look up to these guys, but the rest of us are interested in the stories and history of it. World War 2 was a terrible thing, yet people are fascinated by it, from the weapons used to the battles won. But I don't think many people are lauding Hitler. This is no different.

      @wayne3093 Год назад

      @dogs aren't dangerous Lets see where your morals are. An innocent child abuse victim is locked in solitary confinement with a media ban being tortured by child rapist politicians who you vote for. Tereasa May had Melanie Shaw locked in solitary confinement with a media ban 4 years ago. Melanie has had 2 fingers cut off by slamming her hand in a cell door and was force fed psychotic drugs to make her unfit for trial. Treasa Mays dad was in charge of the diocese of the south coast of England. He was also in charge of the biggest child rapist ring in the history of the English church and his priests were charged with thousands of crimes against children. Hubert Brasier was May's dads name, he committed suicide by crossing a dual carriageway in his Marina and smashing head on into a range rover coming the other way. The politicians that English people are voting for have been raping and murdering children in government run care homes since the 1960's. Melanie Shaw is being tortured in prison right now and just because May put a media ban you cannot convince me that's why people are too scared to talk about this. This country and English people are the biggest disgrace ever right now and have no morals or empathy or compassion or courage. Even if you say this is the first time you have heard of these facts my bet is you won't even respond let alone speak up for Melanie Shaw and the children of England. Everyone was crying for Steve Bray when he had his megaphone taken off him and he had over 40k likes on twitter, i posted about Melanie Shaw being locked up in solitary confinement for taking to the streets with a megaphone exposing the child rapists and child murderers running England right now on the same post, you can guess not one single like for Melanie. That's the truth about England right now.

    All that time in prison away from your children and wife just to get them a good education. A job making a living would have been more productive and he would have had the respect he craved . Instead spending about 14,15, in prison in total. That time he could have had with his family. Don't forget his conscience for his crime. He made life hard for himself.😎☘️
