Palma.—The estranged wife of fraudster and former British resident on the island John Hirst now faces the loss of her home after a judge ordered her to pay compensation to their victims totalling more than £785,000.
Hirst, 61, of Huddersfield Road, was jailed for nine years after he swindled investors, many of them British residents on the island, in his £10 million “Ponzi” scheme and used the money to fund the couple’s lavish lifestyle here in Majorca.
