The Irishman has jetted off to the Towie stars’ favourite Spanish holiday destination, Marbella.

He was snapped getting close to a mystery girl in a red cossie by the pool, while holding a very masculine orange wine glass.

Not sure what his friends in Ireland will think about his choice of drink.

He’ll argue it’s practical – dropping a pint of Guinness in a swimming pool would make a right mess.

80 per cent of money laundering cases uncovered in Europe are linked to the town of Marbella

According to the president of the Malaga Provincial Court, Francisco Javier Arroyo, 80 per cent of money laundering cases uncovered in Europe are linked to the town of Marbella. Speaking at the inauguration of the new term at the Escuela de Seguridad in that municipality, he told the press that the number of cases of money laundering in the town requires judges to “establish greater links with foreign authorities” and demonstrate a level of complete professionalism in their duties. “Money is laundered in places where the benefits are greatest, and because of its services, climate and proximity to Gibraltar, Marbella is seen as an ideal location,” said Arroyo, who called for greater collaboration between authorities to combat corruption. He also explained that since March this year, judges in Marbella have been able to specialise in dealing with this type of corruption, something which does not occur anywhere else in the country.
