Moreno: 'I was afraid that arrived by Christmas if the robbers again for me'

As in the famous novel 'Christmas Tale', written by Charles Dickens, Jose Luis Moreno feared for their own 'ghosts of Christmas'. The TV producer, who in December 2007 suffered a violent assault at his home, admitted that he feared that arrived by Christmas if returned to find the robbers.

The businessman expressed his satisfaction at the break, last November 14, the band of criminals Kosovo Albanians who raided his villa in Buderim and assaulted him with such violence that spent six days hospitalized.

"I was afraid that arrived this Christmas, because I received the news that the robbers could come back and get me. As in the heat of battle I faced them, I feared that again," Moreno said after meeting with Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba.

Television producer acknowledged that looked forward to the arrest of his attackers. "When you spend six or seven months since the robbery and no results are starting to doubt," he said. "For me there has been a turning point since that day," he added.

Moreno described the chance of finding a coin Russian documents related to the band disbanded last week with the violent assault suffered by the producer. The coins, commemorative Olympic Games in Moscow, were stolen from his house and then found in one of the registers charged by the police.

"It must have been something my guardian angel, because this has been a fluke. If these currencies had allegedly sold the value." But it was not. The robbers kept the six coins and a few notches concrete that characterized his false signal to owners.

Moreno met this morning with Interior Minister following the joint operation of the National Police and Civil Guard in Madrid that dismantled a criminal organization specializing in ethnic Albanian robbery with violence at home.

"Jose Luis Moreno asked me to thank the work of the Police and Civil Guard and I thought it appropriate to highlight this work. It is fair to make public the fantastic work of our agents," Rubalcaba said after meeting with the producer.

Rubalcaba used to send people a message of confidence in the State Security Forces and to launch a warning to foreign criminals. "Those who think about coming to Spain to steal must know that they will end up in jail. Our police is much better than them," said the minister, who stressed, however, the degree of specialization of criminal gangs. "They're not normal criminals. They have the means and technology almost like ours."
