Ex-Everton player in frame as Romario is fouled for £2.5m
 
Intro:
The legendary Brazilian football star Romario has been conned out of $4.85m (£2.5m) by a gang of international fraudsters who are said to include a former Everton player. Considered one of the greatest football players of all time, Romario lost the money in a complex investment fraud.
 
Excerpt: David Marchant, publisher of the Miami-based Offshore Alert newsletter, which has published the Nevada court documents, said: 'There is something inevitable about a poorly advised, highly paid sportsman being parted from his money by a conman. It is unusual, though, for the conman to be another sportsman. While Ian Burns was never any match for Romario on the football pitch, the reverse is true on the much more rugged playing field of investment fraud.''
