Now prove Mcmafia hitmen killed my ex

- BY CRAIG MCDONALD

Ex-wife Michelle THE ex-wife of a property tycoon hopes a new probe will prove he was murdered by “Mcmafia” hitmen. Michelle Young, 53, believes Scot, 52, was thrown from his London flat onto railings after a row over money with the kind of Moscow mobsters depicted in the recent BBC TV drama. Met Police said his death in December 2014 was not suspicious. A coroner recorded an open verdict. But now detectives will reinvestig­ate his and 13 other deaths, following the Salisbury poisioning­s.

Mrs Young hopes the probe will also help trace her ex’s €1billion fortune she believes is hidden in offshore accounts.

“The re-investigat­ion into the deaths could be a breakthrou­gh,” she said.

“My hope is that the British Government and police do their jobs.”

After the break-up with his wife, Mr Young had also split with socialite Noelle Reno, 32, before his death. He was in a circle known as the Cipriani Five, named after a London restaurant, whose deaths will be reinvestig­ated.

One was Boris Berezovsky, a former friend of President Putin’s, who was found hanged in his bathroom.

Property tycoons Robbie Curtis and Paul Castle jumped in front of trains.
