'Goldfinger' Raid Conducted on Law Firm in Possible Tax Case Against James Bond Star Sean Connery
Authorities have conducted a raid, under the code name Goldfinger, on a Spanish law firm as part of an ongoing tax probe of Sean Connery and his wife.
The famous James Bond star is being investigated in two apparently unrelated real estate matters, reports Agence France-Presse.
The Goldfinger raid addresses money-laundering allegations concerning a seaside villa near Malaga the 79-year-old actor sold in 1999 for $9 million. It has since been developed into a 72-unit luxury apartment complex.
Meanwhile, also under investigation is whether a property firm failed to make some $2 million in required tax payments after the sale of development rights for other real estate in Malaga
