But what they hadn’t bargained on was a series of little black books listing all the payments from his wife’s company Nero Vodka. The ‘notepads’ carefully detailed all the businesses and gangs the bogus Marbella-based company had lent or laundered money through over the last two years.

They are going to regret not destroying those books.”
