A man and woman who scammed 245 people out of £13.7m in pension savings have been jailed.
Alan Barratt, 62, and Susan Dalton, 66, tricked hundreds of people into transferring their pension savings into 10 schemes, which they controlled.
The average loss was £55,000, but some lost much more.
Barratt was arrested in Spain and sent back to the UK in 2021 - the first time the Pensions Regulator had extradited a suspect.
Both Barratt and Dalton - from Essex and Lancashire - were charged with fraud for abusing their position as trustees of the schemes.
Barratt had denied the charged, but in January changed his plea.
The pair - who were based in Spain - lured people with the promise of unrealistic returns, bonuses and even John Lewis vouchers.
