An American tourist suspected of exaggerating the value of his Hublot watch, stolen by muggers in Barcelona, is being investigated over claims he syphoned-off $1 million in COVID relief funds weeks before his charter jet business went bust.
On Thursday it emerged that Seth Bernstein was being investigated by the trustee overseeing the August 2020 bankruptcy of his charter jet company, JetReady.
He is accused of transferring a total of $1.6 million in funds out of the business inappropriately and owes a total of $5 million in debts as a result of his bankruptcy.
Bernstein, 46, from Florida, was on vacation in the Spanish city with his wife and children when he was mugged on June 2.
Surveillance camera footage released by the Spanish police shows the gang setting on Bernstein from behind and ripping the watch from his wrist, as four of his five children looked on.
Spanish police said that Bernstein told them his watch was worth $800,000, but the Swiss watch company said it was valued at $45,000. Bernstein told DailyMail.com he had no idea how much it cost, but said $800,000 to give the police a ballpark figure.

A lot of the Covid relief funding was stolen.
It is also causing the inflation problem.
Maybe the Covid Lockdown was a huge mistake.
BTW, a $20 watch works just as good as a $45,000 watch.
