Sean Connery has failed to show up in a Spanish court, where he was set to testify in a money laundering case, Perez Hilton reports.
Connery and his wife Micheline purchased an $8.4 million home in Marbella in 1999; however, they apparently did not pay $2 million to the local authority. The home was demolished, and a 72-apartment complex was put in its place. The Connerys did not have permission to put these condos up, and they have generated a $72 million profit.
Connery was supposed to take the stand, but submitted a written statement that he would not be appearing in court due to health reasons. A court worker said that he “cited health reasons and his advanced age and said he has not been able to prepare the journey in time.” The court worker also said that the court may have to question Connery in his home.
