Golandrina: While not expecting anything, and not wishing to get into a debate about what happens in other countries, it is accepted that when reporting a crime in the UK if the person reporting the incident does not speak the language commensurate with reporting the crime the police will contact an interpreter to facilitate the reporting of the crime. I would politely point out that on the Spanish Costas there are an enormous amount of foreign visitors and home owners paying taxes to the local government who will be required, under these directions, to employ translators to report crimes which damage the reputation of the area concerned. It may be prudent of the local government, and the enforcement agencies, to suppress the reporting of these crimes to protect the tourist industry in their areas. Economics rule all things
