Levi ‘kidnapped by Brits’

FORMER X-Factor star Levi Davis was ‘kidnapped off the streets’ of Barcelona by a British gang, believes his family. His mother Julie claims a private investigator received an anonymous tip that her son (above) had got into a dispute with criminals two years ago while playing rugby for Ealing, in London, in 2020.

sioner Jose Manuel Villarejo. They say Villarejo had instigated the investigation in a bid to oust the PSOE from the town hall.

They claim the police chief wanted to bring in a new mayor to ‘safeguard’ his property empire in Estepona, which allegedly numbered 48 homes. Spain’s former top cop acquired 92 properties in Spain during his years in office and is now facing charges of bribery, money laundering and racketeering in other unrelated cases.

The long delay to the trial, which continues in March, has been put down to the complexity of the case, with 128 volumes of evidence containing 351,114 pages.

He was last seen outside the Old Irish Pub on October 29 - while a signal on his phone was last detected the next morning at Barcelona’s Sants Estacio train station.

“We desperately need to know more because this could change the whole nature of the investigation,” Julie told the Olive Press.

Cagey

She added the tipster was ‘very cagey’.

“I do know of some difficulties he had with some people who showed up to his flat in Ealing but don't know what the disagreement was about or how serious it was,” she added.

Police found his passport in Barcelona port in September - but no other clue has been uncovered since.

The Davis family is offering €11,500 to anyone who could find Levi.

Police said their investigation was still ‘open and ongoing’.
