The 'most wanted' Brit with a taste for home who hid in plain sight on Spain's Costa del Sol

In the secluded hills above Spain’s Costa del Sol, one of Britain’s most wanted men quietly made a life for himself. David Ungi, 30, lived with three other Englishmen in a spacious three-bedroom house at the foot of the Sierra de Mijas mountains in the small town of Coin, in Malaga province.

They paid around 900 euros a month in rent for their home, where David is thought to have lived for five years. He would use a local gym and the pals would sit and smoke marijuana on their front-facing balcony, rarely speaking to anyone, neighbours said.

Every two or three months, British-plated RS4 or RSQ8 Audis, worth about £100,000, would reportedly pull up outside. The four lads with a taste for home lived on a diet of baked beans, crumpets and sweets, and shopped at a Buyrite British supermarket.
