Europe, really in Economic crisis...!!

A gentleman comes all the way from France and caught inside a jewellery shop with a toy gun under his 'abaya' in Dubai ...

The reason for this he gave .. his business was down ..

Molten, sorry but you've been postwhoring all the way. Please explain to us, if you can, what's the connection between the European crisis and this crime.

Someone who feels desperate and steals to provide for his family would not travel all the way to this country to steal eight million riyals... that's roughy 1.5 million Euros. We are talking about ORGANIZED CRIME!

The average income of a middle-class family in western Europe is somewhere between 18-26.000 Euros per year, minus taxes! How many wages con you pay out of 1.5 million???

It's disgusting just to read how many are wallowing in people's tragedy, as if that is really going to make them feel better about themselves.

The never ending BS anti-western campaign on QL.

My brother title of topic says it all ..

UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, will cut as many as 10,000 jobs companywide as the trading business shrinks, a person with knowledge of the plan said. Many of the reductions will come in the trading businesses and probably will occur over several quarters, said the person.

An announcement may come when UBS reports third-quarter earnings tomorrow.

The beat criminals are those in governments(i dont mean qatari before anyone says leave this country) those that are in business also. Is there such thing as an honest business man. You have try and sell a product even if its rubbish to gain maximum profit ie banks and so forth. .Governments worldwide make so much money and those at the top becoming much more wealthier. This is not done by having big salaries its done by much more. Quite often the more they have the more they crave. The fact that they are european can be seen as irrelevant to the crime, as people of different ages and nationalities are ripping people off and stealing from others all the time.

the banks have stolen trillions while destroying the economy. Quoting Nouriel Roubini-

"Nobody has gone to jail since the financial crisis. The banks, they do things that are illegal and at best they slap on them a fine. If some people end up in jail, maybe that will teach a lesson to somebody. Or somebody hanging in the streets"

'' .. The global economic crisis has been a massive stimulus package for .. crime worldwide, Michael Klare writes in Salon. Crime syndicates are finding it easy to recruit from the growing ranks of the unemployed and desperate, the professor writes, and their increasing power is weakening the governments of "narco-states" from Latin America to Africa.

The spike in piracy on the high seas is one symptom of the crime epidemic, Klare writes ...

... but mass layoffs there appear to be fueling a rise in crime and consequent state repression—a process likely to be repeated in many other places without urgent action to help the world's destitute.

Molten, everything you just posted is the awful truth, but still... does that prove that the robbery has any connection with the crisis in Europe?

If MOI can prove that there is, then I'm sure the Qatari Government could figure out the antidote for Europe's economic turmoil.

Ford will stop making vans in Britain next year, cutting 1,400 jobs, on top of 4,300 to be axed in Belgium as part of a plan by the US carmaker to stem European losses, expected to exceed $1.5bn this year.

Spain’s jobless rate broke the 25% for the first time in modern history as austerity cuts squeezed the recession-struck economy, the government said yesterday.

Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed in the third quarter as Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government raised taxes, cut spending and pondered whether to seize a eurozone rescue line.

The unemployment rate rose to 25.02% in the third quarter — the highest since General Francisco Franco’s death in 1975 — from 24.63% in the previous three months, official data showed.

Among workers aged 16-24 the jobless rate towered at 52.34% in the third quarter, only slightly down from 53.27% in the previous quarter, the National Statistic Institute said.

“They are very negative figures,” said Soledad Pellon Bannatyne, market strategist at brokerage IG Markets.

“We are talking about the highest unemployment rate in the history of Spain. It’s beating new records and that is perhaps the worst part of what this crisis is leaving us.” Pellon predicted no improvement for next year, either.

She said the economy needed to grow by more than 1.5% in order to generate new jobs but even the government’s optimistic forecast was for a economic contraction of 0.5% in 2013.

“With that 0.5% fall there won’t be a single job created. More than that, with that 0.5% fall we will carry on destroying jobs,” the economist said.

After more than a year of recession, the soaring jobless figures and biting cuts have prompted growing street protests and unions have called a general strike for November 14.

The jobs figures, the latest chapter in a long, grim economic story for Spain, had only a short impact on the stock exchange, with the IBEX-35 index recovering most of its losses following strong US growth figures to close 0.05 points lower at 7,775.6 points.

A total of 5.78mn people searched in vain for work in the July-September quarter, up 85,000 from the previous three months, the official data showed.

The number of Spanish households in which every member is out of work climbed to 1.74mn — or one in ten of Spanish homes.

The jobless rate was “eye-catching” but the biggest concern was the cumulative fall in employment over the past 17 quarters, said Raj Badiani, London-based economist at analytical group IHS.

Spain’s jobs drama is being fed by a recession that is now moving into a second year, according to the Bank of Spain.

The economy has been shrinking since mid-2011 and is expected to decline again in the third quarter of 2012 at a rate of 0.4%, the same as in the previous three months, the central bank had said earlier in the week.

But “to the person on the street, the destruction of several million jobs since late-2007 coupled with an unemployment rate at 25.0% are a more relevant guide to the depth of recession, and even suggest that Spain is being engulfed by near-depressionary conditions,” Badiani said.

Employment will sink further in 2013 as austerity cuts chip away at public sector jobs and as private firms are hit by slumping demand, he said. At the same time, the property market had yet to hit bottom.

Credit Suisse said it was targeting 4bn francs in cost savings by 2015, up from a goal of 3bn francs it set in July and an earlier figure of 2bn.

The bank, which is already cutting 3,500 staff or 7% of its workforce, said job losses would be inevitable to achieve the extra savings, but did not say how many more staff would go.

PSA Peugeot Citroen has encountered stiff government and union resistance to 8,000 planned job cuts and the closure of its Aulnay plant, while General Motors’ Opel division is in protracted talks to slash jobs and close its Bochum plant in Germany — but not before 2016.

t_coffee_or_me: bravo, bravo, bravo!!!!!!

Bravoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right on the money!

MarcoNandoz-01, my comment "this man doesn't need food, he needs money for drugs" was made in response to mr_qatar's post "everyday i see a man here in Aust sitting in a street with a banner "homeless, need few cents to buy food"

As for the pic, I showed to mr_qatar how the Soup Kitchen places look like..

peace.

So if I am understanding right as a kid if you were told of a story about an elephant and a rat where the elephants name was say Raja you would have asked whoever was telling you the story to bring you to that elephant else the story is crap, right. But my best guess is, you neever were told stories as a kid. BTW do know of something called "building up a story" around a title. As starters I would suggest you pick up newspapers (a decent english newspaper) of about a month and read the news, articles etc etc and see if the title is exactly what is in the body.... you may learn something by the time you finish reading all those 30 papers. I will read your response here from wherever I am on say 26th November 2012.

tahsinmim... the OP, through the story has created the link with the title ....dont see what is your point other than that it seems you arent all that well read to understand the obvious or are one of the wannabies in the que for the EPP so can't take it.

My question..What has this topic got to do with the black man man's pic qatarisun posted, and accused of drug abuse!!?

OOkie kiddies, nuiff with the silly pillow fights!

Without reading further due to forced stop here:

"Trust me, what is poverty in Europe, is a good life in India"

First of all what has India got to do with this thread, and,

Second, REALLY!!! How much does the poster know about India and what are the lines of comparison for such absurdity.

qatarisun: You posted a pic of a black man and wrote this

( This man doesn't need food he needs money to buy drugs) Now just to clear things up which man are we talking about here?

load of crap

Got to agree with Khanan. Poverty is not an excuse.

being poor or Crisis in Europe. Criminal minds...

its disgrace to term poverty as the only reason for theft and stealing.

Interesting comments.but to tired to post mine.bottomline is: it's got nothing to do with the crisis in europe, simple.

but obviously not clever enough hence their geting arrested!Can't imagine how they managed to pull off such a racket even for as long as they did. I doubt poverty and helplessness had anything to do with it though. Try greed and criminal intent!

Abu Dhabi: Inspectors at Abu Dhabi Customs on Sunday foiled an attempt to smuggle more than 13 million Saudi riyals through Al Ghuwaifat border.

The money as seized from a 39-year-old male of African origin and an accomplice of the same nationality.

“The money, which amounted to more than 13 million riyals, was hidden in the back door and rear seats of the car,” Abu Dhabi Customs said in a statement.

Wannabes want to embrace Western technology and will be the first in Queue for Europen PP.

Italian workers rally against job losses and plant closures .. Reuters/Rome

Thousands of Italian trade unionists rallied in central Rome yesterday to protest growing job cuts and factory closures, urging Mario Monti’s government to do more to help workers hit by a year-long recession.

“We’re here to support all the workers who are in dispute with their companies during this economic crisis,” said protester Michele Giuliva as she joined the rally organised by the left-leaning CGIL union, Italy’s biggest.

“The government is thinking only of bond spreads.”

Italians are grappling with a prolonged economic slump, unemployment has risen to its highest since monthly records began in 2004 and unions are locked in growing disputes with companies over plant closures and lay-offs.

Austerity measures passed by Monti to cut debt and reassure bond markets after he replaced former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi last year have further fuelled discontent, as tax hikes and spending cuts eat into incomes.

Workers from all sectors of industry gathered in the square outside Saint John’s Basilica, a traditional rallying point for left-wing protests, holding red balloons and banners with slogans such as “Go away Monti”.

CGIL said on its website that it was urging the government to focus on measures that encourage investment and boost employment, particularly among young people and women.

Yesterday’s rally was the latest in a string of protests held against the Italian government, and comes as demonstrations and strikes are mounting again across debt-laden southern Europe from Greece to Spain.

Threatened closures at factories such as Alcoa’s aluminium plant in Sardinia and the Ilva steel plant in southern Italy have led to angry protests and strikes by workers fearing for their jobs.

On Friday, a court ordered car maker Fiat to rehire 145 workers that it had dismissed earlier this year over a union dispute.

The workers are members of CGIL’s metal industry arm which refused to sign up to new working conditions imposed by Fiat.

ok Mr. Qatar. You are right. We are wrong. Thank you for helping us to understand :)

if state/govt is unable to provide food to nation how a single person can..?

this men will give charity to 1000 ppl but in riots i saw some 10,000 ppl...

just check my link which i post in my previous comments then comment plzz..

its not only food, you have to pay ur laons, u need to pay ur kids school fee, u need to pay for ur health, u need to pay for travel expenses..

do u ever see anywhere in the world that poor can travel free..? I bet No and you will never...

Jose Barroso has thanked these thieves for their brave attempt to rescue Europe from recession and hopes that more people will take inspiration from these martyrs.

mr_qatar, this man doesn't need food, he needs money for drugs. He can get food as I said, in special charity places, either as food products in a bag, so that they can cook it at home, or ready meals in the "soup kitchens" places.

qatarisun.. what crisis means to u..? why they did riots and lootings..? what they did in England, in spain, in greece & in portugal are just for fun..? or do you have any other reason for that..? please share the reason of that riots with us... as you r showing urself very experince user in QL and aged too "Aunty"

and for your kind information I am currently in Australia and its 3:14am here..

and one more thing dont judge any1 by his/her age coz sometimes child even have more knowledge thn of adults.. just like in this case... lolxx

good bye "aunty".. lolxx

tahsinmim.. i think political instability is also a sort of crisis which is a barier in economic progress.. as in sub-continent every party have there own plans which are basically plans how to loot country...

and recently i saw in news that one of the employee's wife in King Fisher Airlines did suicide just because his employer didnt pay her husband for 6 months.. And in suicide note she wrote that we dont have anything even to feed our kids & we are in financial crisis..

so if a poverty can lead some1 to suicide, why not to stealing...

@TAHSINIM.. For your comfort and info.. check out this link plzz.. sorry employee's wife not employee..

http://www.ndtv.com/article/cities/wife-of-kingfisher-employee-commits-suicide-over-his-salary-problems-275577

again i would like to say to all 3 of you (tahsinim, qatarisun & nomerci).. if a poverty or financial crisis can lead you to suicide then stealing is a very small crime...

Molten Metal.. dear you are wrong there wasn't any riots & lootings they just try to break Qatar's record in seek & Hide game... lolxx..

some ppl never accept reality buddy..

@qatarisun.. do u think that they stealing gold just for fun...

some ppl actually mostly ppl specially in europe are addict of luxury life but now that luxury is no more so its difficult for them to live in a shelter thats why they are use alternate way...

remember no 1 is criminal but hunger make ppl criminals.

@ nomerci.. everyday i see a man here in Aust sitting in a street with a banner "homeless, need few cents to buy food"... so do you think he is in better condition and enjoying better life style thn of poors in india..? conditions of poor are same whether he/she is america or europe or asia...

and do you really mean that poverty in europe is a good life in india..? grow some balls..

NM, look at the OP's age.. he doesn't understand what he is talking about. He has never been to any europian country. May be for him "crisis" means bodies of people who died of starvation, lying around the cities :)

I don't know what's on his mind.. but it's obviously due to his small age and little life experience, and lack of knowledge about in the rest of the world, rather than his original country. And maybe due to lack of some other stuff in his head.. just ignore :)

is favourite word among the EU Govts .. since 2008 ..

If not what it is ?

We have forgotten England riots - Aug 2011 - rioting, looting and arson ..

tell the police to reply them ..

Trust me, what is poverty in Europe, is a good life in India.

If they have all what it takes ... then ... Why are people out on the streets demonstrating from England , Greece , Italy to Spain ?

Because they are not happy with what they have.

So they tell the governments.

QS!!!! Really, did you HAVE to tell them???? :P

what the crisis in europe has to do with that? Do you really think they have done it because they had nothing to eat? lol.. No one in Eurpoe is "dying in poverty". Every poor person is entitled for the social welfare this way or another. There are shelters to spend nights, there are food banks to get food, there are unemployment and welfare allowances...

They weren't hungry. They wanted to be rich.

This is an indication .. people are out of work some where on the globe .. That is what forcing them to resort to others risky means .. to make both ends meet ..

This news has a futuristic reality in it ..

You are still young .. I guarantee .. you 'll find here electricians / techinician / welders / plumbers from Europe within 7 years time .. may be I won't witness it ..

first u feel good in commenting but now u r saying that whats the purpose of this..?? so buddy for ur info let me inform u that this is QL and the news I post is related to Qatar...

If some one can post 0bama & Romney news thn why not this news..?

If some1 can post uniforms of school teachers in Kerala news thn why not this...?

and if you feel uncomfortable better not to comment..

EU sent these people to Qatar to solve their crisis by stealing items worth 8 Million Qatari Riyals???

nomerci.. evil of the west in middleast.. lolxx

they already know so many things such as making fake atm cards, using fake atm cards.. they seems much genius then of u.. :p :p ..

(kidding.. if angry play angry birds)

I hope MOI come down hard on them, Qatar is the safest place on earth and we do not want these low-lifes messing this up.

tahsinmim.. but the question is that where that money come from to rent a car and to book a hotel..?

mind charge you nothing when u r making heist plan... O_*

Mr . Qatar. I can't help them, as they need first to learn to have the will to help themselves. And anything that is gained the wrong way will never stay. As simple as that.

And with this I will leave you all to contemplating the evils of the West. Enjoy! :)

Other than stealing .. mugging , divorces and suicides are on the cards ..

nomerci.. its not about rich and poor.. poor still have something to eat to wear but what abt those who's condition are worse thn of poor...

ok tell me how will you help him/her.. i mean what path will you choose when u feel that now u r dying of poverty...?

GoJ.. but still its hard even for logistics companies to shift 8 Million Riyals gold...

but somehow u r rite coz if one person can steal then why not another can transfer that for him...

mr_qatar - probably they would have taken the help of one of those numerous logistics companies to get their loot across. Well you see anything is possible if the price is right and there will be lots of fly by night logistics operators around

No Mr. Qatar, of course not! Only poor people steal...and people whose countries are in economic crisis. YUP!

nm... think about the ppl (who are involve in stealing) point of view..

do u ever think that bill gates or you can steal something...?

Ah yes, of course. People only steal when their country is in recession...how could I not know this?? How silly of me!

interesting part is that what are there plan that how to take out this much of gold out of the country..

that secret plan is still in there mind..

Exactly.. and its very interesting that they used the Visa-on Arrival visa meant for the well off guys from the first world to get in to carry out their acts. Just wondering which of this european countries now is really under such a bad and miserable situation

i dont think, this is a fact my dear nm... all u need is just think about once that why ppl choose this path (stealing)...

And you think people only steal if there is an economic crisis in their country? :P
