Cover girl Floozy Suzy: Suzanne Couling APPEARING on the cover of a mocked up version of Time magazine, alongside her lover Goldman, it is clear there is more to Suzanne Couling than meets the eye. Under the heading “Tycoons the real story - Can they save Europe?” the pair pose grinning in a trading room, looking like business colleagues. Taken in happier times, while living in a rented multi-million euro villa in Marbella, she has since fled back to live with him in Berkshire, where she has continued to stay embroiled in his scams.

HIGH LIFE: Goldman and Suzanne lived the high life with Michelin-star meals and five star hotels while renting this multi-million euro villa opposite Santa Maria golf club, in Marbella. The couple in their ‘trading room’ (right)

Indeed, the mother-of-two is named on the coin-peddling eBay account, which goes under his new false name ‘Howard del Monte’, and bank payments go through her account. She is also coincidentally now linked to Goldman’s investment victims in Spain, after making at least one

payment - of €440 - to one victim. “I only made one payment. I had to pay it as Nigel did not have anything,” she said from her Berkshire home last week. “I said never again and Nigel’s business has nothing to do
with me.” Of the recent exploits she added: “He advises me what to do. We have to make a living somehow. We have to make ends meet.” On the surface at least their current lifestyle is a far cry from
their previous existence on the Costa del Sol. Aside from the regular five-star dining, they had foreign holidays, staying in 500-euro-a-night suites in the Hotel Mirage in Morocco and even went on luxury cruises around the Med.
Until her move to the UK, Couling had lived on the Costa del Sol for nearly two decades, apart from one stint in Greece. According to sources, she worked in a num-
I am appalled: EWN Publisher Michel Euesden THE EWN has nothing to hide, though I am out of the country at present so at a compete disadvantage. However, I am appalled that Goldman entertained criminals while using restaurant review columns in my newspaper to add to his credibility. Steven and I - on the Costa del Sol for nearly 20 years - were given the pictures by Barrie Nathan and there was never a need to question them given his pedigree of long-term friends including Martin Nathan (chairman of TRE), David Klein (Costa del Sol Action

Printing more than 500 pages per week with six editions, EWN staff cannot go through every picture scrutinizing for possible criminals. But as managing director, the buck stops with me. If this investigation helps assist fraud victims then do what you have to, but I question your modus operandi, plus the fact that your publishing consultant worked for us when Goldman was a contributor. But that is life. Some people in the community are accusing
you of being anti-Jewish. This is absolute rubbish as we at the EWN are not Jewish and you always try to drag us into the midst of scandals, something both our readers - many of whom we share as we are both free - are getting tired with. The Olive Press worked hard and did well to find Goldman, or whatever name he is going under. You at times make the news with such investigations, and I applaud you when this helps the local community.But equally please report on all the wonderful people in Spain , for there is locally also plenty of good.

But her reputation was never exactly perfect, according to old friend Carol Lewis, who knew her as ‘Floozy Suzy’. “There was plenty of talk of cut-throat dealings and it is no surprise to learn she is living with Nigel,” she said last night.
