A Briton who was arrested in Mojacar more than four years ago in connection with a credit card scam has been found guilty of 18 counts of fraud by a court in the UK.
Stephen Ackerman, 48, from Loughton, Essex, was found guilty of conning ex-England manager Sam Allardyce as well as two West Ham United footballers and backroom staff out of thousands of pounds by a jury in Snaresbrook Crown Court.
According to a UK press report, Ackerman ripped off his victims to the tune of £61,000 by selling them luxury hampers after turning up at the Premier League club’s training ground in December 2014.
