Andrew Neave, the Dundee man facing allegations of involvement in a £344 million Mafia-linked money-laundering scheme, has been released from prison in Italy.
He is now under house arrest in the country while awaiting the next stage of legal proceedings.
The 45-year-old has made the most of his newfound freedom by going on a sightseeing tour of the Italian capital with his family.
Pictures on Neave’s Facebook page show him and his family visiting attractions such as the Trevi fountain in Rome.
It is not clear when the case is likely to call in court.
He was extradited to Italy after prosecutors said he was involved in an alleged fraud that used “Mafia methods”.
The alleged fraud relates to a complicated international network of multi-million-pound transactions which has been branded “one of the most colossal in the history of Italy” by an investigating magistrate.
More than 50 people from Italy, Britain, the former Soviet states and the USA have been implicated.
Neave, who gave his address in court as Old Craigie Road, Dundee, was extradited last June after being arrested by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.
He was put on a flight from Heathrow to Rome after an appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
