Over the top, politically incorrect, scatological humor. <br /><br />Old ladies dealing coke from the deck of a cruise ship...the (slapstick) comedy practically writes itself. Fact is stranger than fiction.<br /><br />I will say that the thing that jumps out at me from reading the article, apart from the age of the suspects, is that the nationality of the women is not mentioned. <br /><br />Spanish media, El País included, usually mentions the nationality of a suspect... that a suspect is Moroccan, Romanian, Colombian, etc. or a Spanish citizen of Moroccan, Romanian, etc. descent. The fact that it isn't mentioned leads me to believe that these women were what would be considered "pura cepa" Spanish. <br /><br />Sorry if that's offensive to some, but blame Spanish media which normally goes to great lengths to mention a criminal's nationality, even when that piece of information is totally irrelevant.Voices en Españolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380577558422008770noreply@blogger.com
