Overview

• Alan Brozel entrusted over £150,000 of his pension to Continental Wealth Management, which allegedly forged his signature and channelled funds into high-risk investments.
• Ex-model Jody Smart, a former CWM director, was convicted of fraud last month as part of the ongoing pensions investigation.
• Darren Kirby, another CWM director, is believed to be in England and is now subject to judicial review over his involvement.
• Now 74, Brozel survives on a £600 state pension supplemented by villa cleaning and dog handling to cover living costs.
• Hundreds of British expats lost significant savings after CWM dividends dwindled and erratic payments left investors unable to recoup their funds.
