At least 69 people have been arrested in raids that started over the weekend, with police claiming that the gang had exported the worst Russian mafia methods to numerous countries, including Britain.

“These people were prepared to kill if necessary and accepted tasks of that nature,” an anonymous Spanish police source told El País newspaper this morning.
