A “fake” Irish aristocrat who allegedly conned a French film star out of millions also persuaded the prestigious Royal Cork Yacht Club to partner with non-existent yacht clubs in the Caribbean.
Terry Birles was found to have defrauded Dany Boon, an actor, director and writer, out of €4.8m in December in a High Court case that made international headlines.
