About this listen

Most of us have told the odd tall tale from time to time – but not many people would pretend to be an MI6 agent or a wealthy Swiss banker.

Those are just a couple of the outlandish lies told by notorious British conman Mark Acklom - whose life of deception started as a teenager and took him all over Europe.

Sky’s crime correspondent Martin Brunt spent years on Acklom’s trail, after one of his devastated victims contacted him asking for help.

As Acklom’s latest court hearing gets underway, Martin tells Niall why some stories are stranger than fiction.
