“The 55-year-old, from Cwmbran, Torfaen, spent the cash on cars and properties and gambled away £500,000. He was jailed in 2018 for seven years and four months.

“The following year a proceeds of crime hearing ruled he had more than £650,000 to hand back. Having served half his sentence Bevan was released from prison this week but returned to court as prosecutors sought to recoup more money from him.
