Could he return to Switzerland? Since he has been on the run before, it wouldn't be a surprise if he does so again while out on licence. Bet he'll return to his old ways before too long.

Unfortunately nobody cares, more's the pity. The money is hidden somewhere, or has been given to family and friends to hold. A forensic accountant and fraudulent conveyance law (action paulienne, in Civil Law countries) might get some of it back.

He will only stop when some victim, or family member of a victim, tops him.

Thank you very much for posting all of this, especially the video link. Just watched it.

Well, ladies, let's not fall in love with charismatic English guys from now on.
Or maybe the thread should become a sticky, so we can check the picture before we do.

Surprised he chose the silver coast. Would have expected him to chose a house-number between Tina Turner and Chrisoph Blocher.

I would image he is on Schengen’s watch list. That may not be perfect, but it’s certainly a lot better than people think it is.

No, that was Editor Bob

One of these psychopaths tried it on with a member of my family...stories of the Foreign Legion, proper accent (and I was schooled there, but he sounded believable), daring-do as a spy, etc. He backed off when I started asking questions he could not answer. These people are fascinating, reptilian, and frightening. Of course he will go back to doing the only thing he knows...there's no one in that shell.

I had spuriously suggested shooting a neighbour to conclude a pointless argument in another thread. You, however, come across as a veteran jurist

He's far from the only one.
Whether he gets stopped or not doesn't really make a difference overall.

Mark Acklom: Serial conman who tricked his lover out of nearly £1m agrees to be extradited to Spain

Thread started in 2011 and kept going since by "Charlie's Angel", whom Martin Brunt met in the above Sky documentary, and who has apparently been doing a lot of digging regarding Acklom's activities:

Looks as if he could be out of a Spanish jail and back to conning people in October 2023.

It’s a shame Credit Suisse has now gone down the tube, he would have been a prime candidate for a senior management role.

Their risk management was badly in need of somebody of his calibre:

"Takes one to know one"

Related Facebook group (viewable without a Facebook account) referring to Acklom associates, with the one in the title said to have been active in Switzerland and to possibly be going by a different name.

Includes a link to this Tagesanzeiger article: So perfide ging der meistgesuchte Betrüger Englands vor

Behind a paywall, but a search for the name in the title of the Facebook group plus Acklom produces the article as one of the results, with a snippet from it saying "Es handelt sich mutmasslich um Ackloms Komplizen J--- B--------, der seit Jahren mit ihm..." (This is presumed to be Acklom's accomplice J--- B--------, who has ... with him for years).

Edit: Full English version of that article. (Missing part of above sentence is "worked with him for years".)

I was wrong about October. He's already out of jail (perhaps released early, if a Spanish court official was saying in 2021 that his Spanish prison term would last until October 2023). Whereabouts unclear, but his wife and children apparently live in Spain (currently).
