The story began when Dany Boon contacted a certain Terry Birles to renovate and maintain his yacht. The Irishman introduced himself to the comedian as a wealthy lord, from “an ancient family”.

The latter would then have advised him to work with his company South Sea Merchant’s Mariners Ltd Partnership (SSMM) for the renovation of his boat. At first glance, this company seemed serious, notes the “Irish Examiner”. Dany Boon would therefore have spent 2 million euros in the company of this Terry Birles to renovate his yacht. Confident, the actor would then have invested more than 4 million euros in a scheme affiliated with the Irish Central Bank, always on the advice of the so-called Irish lord.

Money transferred to South Korea and Panama
But after a few months, following the testimony of a person who claimed to have been the victim of a scam by Terry Birles, Dany Boon asked for a refund of the sums invested. It was then that he learned that his money had been transferred to South Korea and Panama. The actor then contacted former clients of Terry Birles, who confirmed that his boating company was just an excuse to extort money.
–
The French actor would have been the victim of a scam for a total amount of 6.7 million euros. Dany Boon finally hired an Irish lawyer, Rossa Fanning, who managed to obtain a temporary freezing of the assets of Terry Birles, up to 6 million euros, reports the “Irish Examiner”. The case will be examined by the Irish courts in the coming weeks.
