The traveler / tourist in Spain, will not fail to notice the number of modern buildings that are half or totally empty.
In the last 10+ years, there has been a construction and real estate boom in Spain similar to the construction / real estate bubble that busted here in the US. The preferred mode of ownership is the condominium, usually in high rise building.
The cost of such units is not cheap. In the Madrid area (suburbs) for instance, a condominium unit of about 1,000 square feet will easily go from 300,000 euros (and up). Looking at the newspaper ads, one will find plenty of units for sale, but little if any is being given away.
The difference is that in Spain, there are no distress sales, no fire-sales or foreclosures that visible to the casual observer. Banks have been severely affected by their (one can say greedy or ill advised) purchase of garbage "AAA" US securities, like those packaged by Goldman Sachs, but not because of reckless real estate loans. So it appears that the housing units will sit there until eventually buyers show up with money in their hands.
The reason for this is that much of that construction boom was paid for in cash by Russian mafiosi. They are just laundering and parking money, even though they probably were not planning on waiting that long for their money to come out of the laundry. So the building boom was paid for in cash (brought in suitcases into the country?). No construction / real estate loans.
Spanish authorities have arrested more than 60 suspects, including the top four mafia bosses outside Russia. A Spanish prosecutor, José González, who has spent more than a decade trying to unravel the activities of Russian organised crime in Spain, has summarized the situation as follows:
>>
In a startling briefing for US officials in January, González said Russia was a "virtual mafia state" in which "one cannot differentiate between the activities of the government and OC [organised crime] groups".
>>
No wonder Putin was so lenient with Boris Yeltsin, letting him go home unmolested to enjoy his booze and his loot. Likewise, Putin has been very in a very cozy relationship with the Oligarchs, which were the beneficiaries of the breakup of the Soviet Union and re-distribution of immense wealth.
By the way, all the oligarchs are Jewish.
The unflattering assessment of Vladimir Putin, has come out in the Wikileaks, and has evidently hit the mark. For those who are too upset about the revelations of the foibles and wrong doings our own officials, we can say: That's nothing. You ought to see the other guy!

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro
Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish. Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro
