Connerys fail to appear in court for corruption hearing

SEAN CONNERY and his wife failed to attend a Spanish court hearing into a corruption probe as ordered yesterday, citing health reasons, a court source said.

The 80-year-old film star best known for his portrayal of James Bond said in a letter to the judge that, because of their “age and state of health”, they cannot travel to the Marbella court from their home in the Bahamas, the source said.

The judge is studying whether to send officials to question the couple at their residence in the Bahamas, the source said.
