Rich divorced woman cries out and accuses her much younger lover of scamming her of £500,000

A rich divorcee accused her younger Romanian lover of scamming her of £500,000 but he insists they were in love and the hefty sum of cash was a gift.
Christiane Shellard, 66, said she loaned Cristian Mihalea, 29, money to help him turn his life around, and instead he blew it on online gambling and fancy watches. Ms Shellard, from Surrey, says she was a "naive fool" to be duped by Mr Mihalea, who left her "completely unfulfilled" sexually after the pair met at a restaurant in 2016.
But Mr Mihalea denies conning her. He says they were in love and the money she gave him was a gift. He added that he was heartbroken when Ms Shellard replaced him with a younger model.
