MacAnthony Lies or Truth?
Listen to Darragh MacAnthony pulling off the Bait & Switch to get another victim to transfer from Florida to Portugal where no building was ever built. They didn’t even collect the approved planning permission.

If you understand this victim had already paid a large deposit to MRI for a villa in Florida and MacAnthony persuaded them to part with an additional €6,000 to reserve an apartment in a block in Portugal where MRI Construction were planning to build an apartment block themselves. This block was scheduled to be completed in 2009 but to this day MRI Construction have not even picked up the building permit from the local planning offices. Not one brick has been laid and the monies were not returned to the victim.
Straight Theft or Not?
Have you got similar damning evidence about MacAnthony and his crimes? If so forward it to the MRISG so it too can be added to massive pool of evidence built against MRI and their web of companies.
MacAnthony may face prison in fraud case

'The Posh' chairman may face prison
On Wednesday this week 51 complainants from across the UK attended Marbella criminal courts to ratify the case against former property mogul Darragh MacAnthony and his former chief executives Michael Liggan and Dominic Pickering.
The judge will now decide whether to proceed with criminal charges in a case that could last up to two years.
Antonio Flores, from legal firm Lawbird which represents the claimants, told me that the defendants could be looking at a prison term of between 4 and 12 years if found guilty of fraud and misappropriation of client funds, as well as having to repay the clients money.
“The claimants want their money back,” Antonio told me. “They paid money for furniture for their new homes and the furniture didn’t arrive leaving them out of pocket.”
Collectively the claimants lost over 600,000€, which may seem like a large amount to most people but maybe not so to millionaire businessman and football club owner, Mr. MacAnthony.
Antonio Flores said “MacAnthony does have the option to settle with the claimants out of court but the time for that is running out.”

Darragh MacAnthony
A SPANISH judge will decide whether football club boss Darragh MacAnthony will face charges after a raft of complaints from disgruntled customers who claim furniture ordered from his firm never arrived.
MacAnthony Realty International (MRI) developed resorts in several countries from its Marbella headquarters and sold furniture packs to clients.
Hugely popular on the holiday market, MRI had hundreds of Irish customers and boasted an annual turnover greater than €100m before the credit crunch.
It made the 35-year-old Dubliner, who now owns Peterborough Football Club, a multi-millionaire.
However, a group of 51 Irish and British buyers claim that €492,000 worth of furniture, ordered more than five years ago for apartments in Morocco, Bulgaria and Cape Verde, was never delivered.
Antonio Flores, the Spanish lawyer acting for the group, claims “many other” MRI customers are affected. He alleges that missing furniture is just one of the irregularities linked to MRI, or related companies.
