‘Old rogue’ jailed for fraud

AN ageing lothario, who “charmed” a French millionairess into bed and then conned her out of her cash, was jailed for one year yesterday.

Frank Hogart, 72, posed as a top international tax lawyer blessed with impressive linguist skills, homes around the world and an exciting childhood in Egypt and Morocco with a Scottish diplomat father.

London’s Southwark Crown Court heard that during their two-year relationship, his much younger lover showered him with clothes, let him move into her luxury apartment and gave him the reins of one of her companies.
