Marbella is a city and resort area on southern Spain's Costa del Sol, part of the Andalusia region.
几天前一篇关于Marbella的文章吸引了我，它揭示了Marbella的历史发展过程，传统的犯罪组织如何与法制社会和谐共存，造就了Marbella的繁荣，以及如今新的犯罪帮派侵入，使得旧规矩面临严峻挑战，Marbella 变得越来越危险，守法居民与传统的旧犯罪帮派均受到了威胁，随着守法居民逃离，传统共存旧帮派也在担心Marbella的前途... ... 看完后觉得这故事很有意思，除了故事本身还有辩证法的道理，I was motivated... ... 但是这篇文章相当长，一次读不完，我想分几部分读，做个系列吧。

‘A united nations of crime’: how Marbella became a magnet for gangsters
The new international crime organisations have made Marbella their centre of operations. And as violence rises, the police lag far behind , by Nacho Carretero and Arturo Lezcano
the police are incompetent in Spain. That country has a lot to offer, but visitors must never drop their guard or they stand a good chance of falling victim to crime.
But crime impacting visitors in Spain seems to involve much more than ordinary pickpocketing. We saw a roomful of people in the big waiting room in the US consulate in Barcelona. The reason they were there was the same, they all had their travel documents stolen. But the ways they lost the documents were different from one another. Some had their unattended bags stolen. Others had their bags snatched by robbers on motorcycles. Many more fell victim to a special kind of highway robbery. In this scheme, the thieves would place themselves in highway rest areas. When they see tourists pull in, they slash tires on the tourists' cars when the tourists are using the facilities. They then pretend to help change the tires to distract the tourists while their fellow gang members steal contents from the cars. Or they pass toursts driving on highway and beckon at them to falsely indicate there is something wrong with the tourists' vehicle. Once the tourists stop to examine their car, the thieves stop nearby and pull the same tricks.

settle a score
(also settle old scores)
to punish someone for something wrong that they did to you in the past and that you cannot forgive: Police believe the killer was a gang member settling a score with a rival gang. He is using his wealth and power to settle old scores. 等着听辩证法，怎么个辩证，恶极必好？：）But crime impacting visitors in Spain seems to involve much more than ordinary pickpocketing.
