"HUNDREDS of people are due to take to the streets in London to protest against fraudulent property mogul Darragh MacAnthony and his beleaguered Costa Del Sol company MRI.
The Misled Realty Investors Support Group (MRISG) whose 1,200 members claim they were scammed by MRI, will march to Downing Street to demand action.
The group, many of whom invested money in property and furniture packs in Spain that never materialised, are backed by MP for East Antrim Sammy Wilson.
Wilson, who has attacked the firm for defrauding hundreds of people, is to raise an Early Day Motion in parliament against the firm.
He is demanding a change in the law that would ensure that companies like MRI are unable to get away with such promises.
The protest will start near Chancery Lane and head all the way to Downing Street where they will hand in their petition demanding action against MRI.
A spokesman for the group said: “We have all been misled, lied to, even threatened and intimidated by MRI so this is our time to fight back.”
MRI’s head office shut in Marbella last year and sources told the Olive Press that MacAnthony – who once had huge billboards up and down the Costa del Sol – was planning to relocate to the US.
“He has been selling a lot of his cars and property in preparation for a big move,” one said. “In fact I think he may have already flown the nest.”
The Olive Press was unable to speak to either Darragh or his fellow director Dominic Pickering."
