Euro Weekly News | Organised crime figures frustrating the police | Spain | News | The Largest English Language Newspapers in Spain: "6,000 organised crime suspects arrested in Spain last year, only 25 per cent were sent to prison.
The police claim makes them feel extremely frustrated, and makes their job even tougher.
In most cases, only the higher echelons of the gangs see the inside of a cell, whereas others are cautioned and set up their own operations.
Between 2007 and 2009, 1,443 gangs dedicated to organised crime were dismantled by police in Spain.
There are some 6,700 police officers in Spain dedicated to fighting organized crime.
On the positive side, some 7,590 repeat offenders were extradited from Spain last year alone, many of whom also belonged to these gangs.
More than half of last year’s detainees were foreigners."
