PREGUNTAS

Spanish police woman cleans up the Costa del Crime

Charged with catching the hard men of the British underworld on Spain's costas is Detective
Inspector Lizana, head of the Spanish police's Fugitives Unit. In a country where machismo is alive
and well, Lizana is one of the few women in command of an elite Spanish police unit. Smoking a
steady stream of Marlboros, she claims that “more women are getting senior jobs today”. At 39, she
leads the hunt for men who are not afraid to kill to stay one step ahead of the law.

Britain has the dubious honour of supplying Spain with its largest population of foreign criminals.
“The Germans also have a large number of wanted people here, but they are mostly for fraud and
tax avoidance. They are not as violent as the British”, she says.

In person, she is relaxed, jokey, but admits that her Argentinian mother says she is “less sensitive”
towards people because of her work. She has four women on her team of 11 and although she is the
boss they seem like equals. She arrives in jeans, trainers and a sweatshirt but changes into her

uniform for the photos.

“Spain is the number one destination of choice for British criminals at the moment”, agrees Hank
Cole of the National Crime Agency, which works closely with Spanish police. That was until Lizana
arrived. “Spain is not a refuge any more”, she insists. “With the close help of British police, we are
catching more British criminals than ever”. Last year, the Fugitives Unit arrested 40 British
criminals and suspects, compared with 25 last year and 19 in 2011.

Her job sounds glamorous but she dismisses thoughts of getting a high from catching a big-name
crook: “I am the boss. I have to worry for 50 officers on a big operation. That's what I am thinking
about”. On the wall of her office there is a long list of wanted men. “Don't worry, we will be
spoiling their holidays in Spain very soon”, she says.
