Goldfinger held for Mafia empire

CRIME baron John “Goldfinger” Palmer was being held by anti-Mafia cops last night probing his £400million empire.

The timeshare king was arrested in Tenerife.

Palmer, 57, was seized by armed officers as he stepped off a private jet from the UK.

Spanish police accuse him of masterminding a criminal empire on Tenerife involving fraud, drug trafficking, money laundering, gun running and falsifying passports and credit cards.
