Lynne Graver posed for the image just two weeks after Barry Spearing was jailed for six years over a multi-million pound investment scam
The wife of a convicted fraudster has sparked fury after a photo of her on holiday was posted online with the caption: ‘Who says crime doesn’t pay?’
Lynne Graver posed for the image just two weeks after Barry Spearing was jailed for six years over a multi-million pound investment scam.
Elderly and vulnerable victims were cold called by a gang who pressurised them into investing £3million in bogus companies and schemes. One 83-year-old victim lost more than £1million.
But Mrs Graver, 54, appears unaffected by the misery her husband has caused in the photo posted by a friend on Facebook. It shows her smiling and looking bronzed and relaxed as she perches on a wicker sofa on a sunny patio in Pilar de la Horadada in Alicante, Spain.
A comment written alongside the photo said: ‘Loving my bestie staying with me Lynne Graver – laughing so much! Who says crime doesn’t pay.’ It was followed by three laughing emojis and the hashtag #lifeisgreat.
Angry responses online included one saying: ‘I am utterly disgusted that they think this is a laughing matter.’
