Sun, Sea & Murder: Gangsters in Spain | Ross Kemp Mafia and Britain

In 1978, Spain's extradition treaty with Britain quietly expired — and overnight, the Costa del Sol became the world's most dangerous holiday resort. Britain's most wanted criminals didn't just escape justice. They moved into sun-soaked villas, built international drug empires, and dared Scotland Yard to find them. This mafia documentary follows the fugitives who turned the Spanish coast into Britain's most prolific organized crime hub — and the investigators who refused to let them disappear.From armed robbers to contract killers, the Costa del Crime harboured an entire generation of British gangsters who rewrote the rules of organised crime from the Mediterranean sun. With no extradition and no fear, they lived openly — until a new generation of detectives changed the game entirely. This true crime documentary reveals the full story of how Britain exported its most dangerous men to Spain's sun-drenched coastline, and the international investigation that finally brought them home.Sun, Sea & Murder is Episode 4 of the Mafia and Britain series — Total Crime's definitive investigation into how international organised crime networks infiltrated British life.
