MALLORCA TODAY - Another pyramid scheme - couple arrested

With the trial of John Hirst and others due to take place in Yorkshire later this year for an alleged Ponzi scheme operated primarily in Calvià, another scheme has been exposed. Police have detained a couple - named only as J.P., a 56-year-old Austrian born in Germany, and his 38-year-old Spanish wife, B.D.B. - in an investigation of a scheme said to have realised some nine million euros and to have affected some 200 people, mainly Britons, Germans and Spaniards. Arrests were made yesterday in Magalluf and Palma.
