Antonio La Torre

Antonio La Torre is an Italian multi-billionaire real estate developer, restaurateur and member of the Camorra.

[2] La Torre ran eight Italian restaurants in Scotland and currently owns two real estate agencies based in London.

[5] He is said to have laundered millions of pounds from Italy through his own legitimate businesses (including his own restaurants) through the method of setting up fake companies, taking out loans to order goods from Italy, then bankrupting the companies so that the money was legitimised and the costly imports could be sold for well below their value.

[6] On a business trip in 1996 to Amsterdam, he was arrested and extradited to Italy, where he was jailed for 4 years for firearm offences and mafia association.

[4] La Torre has three children with his (as of 2014) estranged wife Gillian F Strang, an oil industry worker who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
