A SCOTS conman who donated £2.4million of stolen funds to the Lib Dems has had luxury cars and a motor boat seized after he admitted money laundering.
Glaswegian Michael Brown, 57, was handed a three-month suspended jail term yesterday and fined £1.29million.
Criminal charges were dropped against his wife Sharon, who had been accused of helping him launder millions of pounds of dirty money in Spain through two firms.
The plea deal, which involved Brown putting his hands up to wrongdoing, was cemented in what was scheduled to be a pre-court hearing at a court in the Palma, Majorca, yesterday.
Brown was not present in court and followed proceedings via video link. Ahead of the hearing prosecutors had demanded a five-year jail sentence and a £5.15million fine for Brown over money laundering.
The punishment they were seeking first emerged in 2018.
