But Mr Kooter told the High Court in London Ms Radeva had lied about her profession and got married to another man just weeks before they met. Ms Radeva admitted she was married, but claimed she was amicably separated from her husband and 'regarded herself as single'. She said Mr Kooter gave her the bulk of the money to support their 'expensive, luxurious lifestyle' together. Michael Collard, defending Ms Radeva, claimed the payments were part-and-parcel of their lavish 'domestic expenses as a couple'. But he refused to award Mr Kooter the 36,000 euro alleged 'loan' he is claiming back.
