Star said to be shaken… but not stirred.

James Bond star, Sean Connery, 79, has been caught up in a real life scandal involving, once again, councillors in Marbella.

The Scottish actor and his second wife, French artist Micheline Roquebrune, 81, have been named as part of an investigation into a property scandal that has embroiled former members of Marbella's town council. They are now under investigation for tax evasion and money-laundering and the actor and tax exile, who was knighted in 2000, has now been ordered along with his wife to appear before the magistrate at Marbella's Court of Instruction during a hearing scheduled later this month.

The court has told us that they will then be questioned behind closed doors by the magistrate, who has placed a secrecy order on the case but as we go to print, neither Sir Sean nor his wife have been arrested or charged with any offence. The investigation also involves five lawyers who have also been ordered to appear before the court after police raided their offices on Wednesday in an operation named, rather sardonically, "Goldfinger" after the 007 film in which Sir Sean starred in 1964.National Police also carried out raids on the Marbella and Madrid offices of law firm Diaz-Bastien & Truan, which handled the sale, and reportedly seized 30,000 documents, according to sources cited in Spanish daily El Mundo.

The Connery's bought the beachfront mansion, Casa Malibu, near Puerto Banus, after their wedding in 1975 and spent much of their time on the Costa del Sol where the pair indulged their love of golf in between his film projects. They sold the home in 1999 for a reported 8 million € (£6.0 million) and a developer later used the site to build a four-storey block containing 72 holiday apartments.

This latest sensation is just one part of an ongoing investigation into planning abuses, embezzlement, money laundering and tax evasion carried out during the administration of the late mayor of Marbella Jesus Gil y Gil, who held office between 1991 and 2002.
