Lawrence Dallaglio’s bankruptcy has been extended after he was accused of spending thousands of pounds a month on his lavish lifestyle and leaving “nothing” to pay his debts.
The Rugby World Cup-winning forward’s “excessive spending” allegedly included £1,000 a month on clothing and footwear, £500 a month on alcohol, £1,000 a month on travel and transport and £800 on groceries.
It has been claimed Dallaglio spent “everything he earned” between August and January – around £200,000 – without setting any aside to pay tax or even a court-ordered monthly spousal maintenance payment to his ex-wife, Alice.
He is also accused of being “largely uncooperative” with trustees of his bankruptcy, one of whom has alleged there was “evidence of an undisclosed bank account” held by the former England and British and Irish Lions star.
The claims have been made in High Court documents obtained by Telegraph Sport after we exclusively revealed last month that Dallaglio’s bankruptcy had been extended until August 7.
