The $50bn (£33bn) Wall Street fraud is fast ensnaring celebrities, bankers and smaller investors. Spain's top banking family - the Botins - have also been dragged in as victims of the world's biggest financial scam. Emilio Botin is the architect of Banco Santander, which owns Abbey, Bradford & Bingley and Alliance & Leicester. Santander is now one of the largest victims of the Madoff fraud and could lose up to £2.1bn.
