A businessman who gave nearly £200,000 to a Tinder date he later discovered had wed another man just weeks before they met is fighting in court to get his money back.
Oil industry consultant Marcel Kooter, 61, said he was “blinded by attraction” when he agreed to transfer the money to Manuela Radeva, 41, who claimed to be an investment manager for Citibank, after meeting her on the dating app.
Soon after they met in 2017 she moved into his luxury apartment in Woolwich, South East London.
