A BRITISH man has been rushed to hospital after being shot and
tortured in a suspected gang
attack.
The victim, who has not been named, suffered horrific injuries after
reportedly being tricked into
meeting with his attackers in Marbella.
He’s believed to have been knee-capped, suffered broken bones in his
lower body, and was cut
from the corners of his mouth up to his ears, known as the Glasgow smile.
Spanish police have not yet made any arrests and local reports say the
victim is showing little
cooperation.
He remains in a serious condition at Marbella’s Costa del Sol
Hospital, where he was admitted in
the early hours of Sunday morning.

has since died from her
injuries.

A Spanish actor accused of ridiculing “God and the Virgin Mary” was
detained yesterday to be
questioned by a judge in the latest high profile case to raise free
speech fears.
Willy Toledo, a cinema and television actor who is facing a complaint
over a social media post last
year slamming the blasphemy prosecution of three women, has twice
failed to show up for
questioning.
Oscar-winner Javier Bardem has spoken out in support of Toledo, 48,
warning that the country
risked a return to the repressive era of dictator Franco.
Toledo was denounced by the Spanish Association of Christian Lawyers.
The affair is one of a string of cases of artists being probed or
jailed for voicing their opinions in
Spain which has raised concerns about freedom of expression.
