Fugitive Brit who Spanish police believe is a 'hitman wanted for murder' arrested in the Costa del Sol after a car crash that saw a pistol and silencer spill out over the road
A fugitive Brit believed to be a hitman who police say was wanted for murder has been arrested after a run-in with two women at a Costa del Sol petrol station and a subsequent car crash. Police released photos of pistols, ammunition and a silencer seized in his vehicle after the suspect, described locally as having links with 'one of London 's most dangerous crime gangs', tried to flee and they held him and discovered he should be in prison. The pics showed the unnamed Brit was also carrying a book called 'Practical Buddhism and the Search for Self.' The arrest was made in an area called Riviera between La Cala de Mijas and Marbella. Respected local paper Sur said he was wanted for 'several assassinations' and reported the argument he had at the petrol station was with two Dutch women he started berating after trying repeatedly to get them to buy him cocaine. A spokesman for local police in the municipality of Mijas, who are employed by Mijas Town Hall, said: 'A British man has been arrested in Riviera who had a warrant out for him ordering his remand in prison for murder.' He added: 'While conducting surveillance work in La Cala de Mijas, officers were called yesterday to deal with an altercation at a petrol station in the area. 'Upon arrival, they interviewed a customer at the station who stated that a foreign man who had been harassing her had already driven away from the scene. 'Shortly afterwards, a call was received alerting us to an accident on Orfebres Street in Riviera. 'Upon arrival the officers found a damaged vehicle that matched the one involved in the incident at the petrol station. The driver attempted to flee when he saw police but was quickly intercepted by the officers. Once identified, they verified that he was a British man with a warrant for his arrest and remand in prison for murder. 'He was also carrying several firearms and a large amount of ammunition which were seized. 'After being arrested, he was handed over to the Civil Guard police force so he could be taken before a judge and subsequently imprisoned.' Police offered no detail about the exact nature of the crimes he was wanted for or any information about his age. As well as two pistols and the silencer they are also said to have found a contacts book with names and addresses in his crashed car which they have handed over to Civil Guard investigators to go through. The photos they released of the smashed-up Nissan Qashqai showed the British man had hit a lamp-post in a residential street. He has already been remanded to jail on the orders of a judge in Fuengirola. Sur reported today: 'An investigation remains open to clarify his links with organised crime.'

Probe launched into Trump prosecutor Jack Smith for ‘illegal political activity' after Don charged 41 times
FEDERAL officials have opened an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who investigated then-candidate Donald Trump before his reelection to a second term. The Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal agency, on Saturday confirmed the investigation. 3 3 3 Trump was slapped with a federal indictment in 2023 over allegations he tried to overturn the 2020 election. It was one of four indictments leveled against the president-elect after he left office in 2021. Trump was charged with conspiracy to defraud the US, obstruction and conspiracy to obstruct, and conspiracy against rights. The case never made it to trial before the presidential election and was subsequently dropped following Trump's victory. However, Smith's findings were published just one week before Trump's inauguration, when he will be sworn in as the 47th president. Smith's report claimed Trump tried to retain power after losing to Biden by "using fraud and deceit." He also claimed Trump pressured election officials at the state level in a desperate bid to try and change the results. Trump was also said to have pressured then vice-president Mike Pence, who was President of the Senate, to change the election result, according to the report. Smith revealed that his team had "admissible evidence," which he believes would've helped them get a conviction against Trump - had he not won the 2024 election. "The department's view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government's proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind," the report said. Trump vehemently denied any allegations of election interference following his indictment. .
