Fraudster Jody Smart has lost her final appeal against a four-year prison sentence after Spain’s top court rejected her plea. Spain’s Supreme Court ruled her appeal inadmissible with judges refusing to consider her arguments. Her last chance is to ask Spain’s Constitutional Court to examine whether her rights were breached during the original trial. Smart, sole director of collapsed Continental Wealth Management (CWM), was convicted in April 2025 for her part in the €35m Continental Wealth Management (CWM) pension scandal, which saw hundreds of expats in Spain lose the majority of their pension savings. Smart was ordered to return the €370,00 to her victims and serve three years and six months in jail, but she has appealed the verdict twice, losing both times.
