Nicola Rowe’s husband Mark led Sell My Timeshare, which defrauded 3,500 people out of £28 million.

The 54 year-old was jailed in January for seven and a half years after pleading guilty to money laundering.

He spent more than £31,000 on a sketch by LS Lowry from the proceeds of the scam.

Timeshare frauds like this have affected people across the UK, including a 73-year-old man from Mitcham who lost £14,000.
