I will keep this as brief as possible just to lay out the bare facts.
My wife and I moved here to southern Italy in 2007.
Unbeknownst to me she had already started to make 'just in case' plans before we left and started looking for and paying a deposit on a house in her sole name, before she even left the UK to join me in our new dream home.
Myself and everyone who knows us really thought that we were Mr & Mrs ideal. For the few years we were together here in Italy, she played her part so well, she had myself and all of our new friends totally under her spell, saying how happy she was, we were and to all intents we were the happiest couple alive.
She left here without any warning on the 29th August 2013 and moved into a flat in Bristol.
The complete out of the blue and without any warning shock of her leaving caused me to have a stroke which I have not fully recovered from.
I have since discovered that for over 7 years prior to leaving she was slowly moving money from our accounts into a private account that I was unaware of.
I have now accumulated all the bank statements, various solicitors letters, tax returns that clearly show how much she has in her private account and that she has left me almost penniless in a foreign country.
I certainly cannot even consider employing a solicitor, I really am broke and can just manage on my UK state pension.
Of course I could say a lot more and have actually written over 5, A4 pages just listing all of her despicable, underhand and deceitful actions.
How can I regain some of MY money?
If you need any further information I am happy to provide it.
I am desperate.
Regards
Gerry
