The Tory peer and Doug Barrowman acquired the £7million Algarve ­property through an offshore firm last July

Baroness Mone has enjoyed a break with her husband at a villa bought three months after their homes were raided by police ­probing a £200million PPE deal.

After flying to Faro in Portugal on their £6million private jet last week, the pair eating out in cafes andThe Baroness is under a ­Parliamentary standards ­investigation into her role in winning Covid contracts for a firm set up days earlier. And after we tracked her down in Portugal, she launched a foul-mouthed rant. She said: “Why are you doing this?“Do you expect me to talk to you when you are being an a******e?”

The couple’s £10million superyacht Lady M was reportedly put up for sale last year, around the time they started enjoying trips to Quinta do Lago, billed as “Europe’s finest golf, leisure and lifestyle resort”. Their home in a secluded corner of the resort is described as an ­“incomparable six-bedroom villa with stunning views” and boasts a large pool and gym.

This is a common legal ploy in Portugal to avoid stamp duty and other property taxes of up to eight per cent, which could have saved Barrowman up to £533,000, if he used it. It soon won a contract for £80million worth of ­facemasks followed by a £122million contract for the medical gowns that are allegedly unusable.
