BBC are claiming he's been on remand in Madrid ever since he was arrested, he's now been charged and he's looking at a minimum of 8 years if convicted.Quote:

Why did this mensa-boy not consider flying into, say, Faro instead and driving over to Malaga?
FFS you just wouldn't be stupid enough to go back.
Yeah it seems the info I was given was completely wrong.Quote:
