Deceit Lies and fraud
Having heard conflicting stories over the last two years since my business was taken from me ! I thought it's time to set the record straight and reveal the truth
In 2022 my doctor advised me for health issues to maybe take a break from the restaurant for a while
Through my so called friends Glen owens and his brother Mervyn had agreed with their cousin kevin owens all from mallow and kevin who was in the restaurant industry that they would rent the restaurant for 6 months while I was having a break ! That's where the good story ends
Upon taking over the restaurant they informed me that adriano Carapeto was going to manage the restaurant for them which they know i didn't like him as I didn't trust him ! Little did i know
They guaranteed me in Glen's words that he was their man on the ground ! And in the time they were there through kevin they would hire all irish staff including chefs which never happened
Warning signs already ! Through complaints and naivety i unfortunately let it continue when the season was over they convinced me to take the restaurant for the winter months to get their master plan finalised
So after my father had passed away in early December I returned to Portugal and asked adriano Carapeto was it OK for my mother sister and friends to remember my dad over a few drinks and Upon arrival the place was shut locks changed and closed ! Which is beyond callous ! I was then informed that they had approached the family and bought the lease behind my back and for the whole of 2022 had told nothing but lie after lie to suit themselves and Glen owens and adriano Carapeto were planning this from when they entered the premises finding out adriano Carapeto had approached loule Council to March to enquire about the license ! They knew what they were doing all along and unfortunately it was too late and adriano Carapeto who being an ex police officer knew the law was on his side which to me is fraud !!! So having built the business over 12 years overnight i lost my dad business and income and left with nothing and not 1 bit of shame only more lies ! Glen owens was the ring leader from day 1 and basically told lies and in hindsight my father said don't trust them They carry on improving the property through illegal building works but that's loule Council for you and adriano Carapeto knows that ! I decided to post this to show how hurt I am and yet for the guys butter wouldn't melt and carry on regardless ! I would like to thank all the loyal customers to fins over the years and at the end of the day people will still go to the restaurant out convenience and greed
Hopefully karma will come to them but pure malice on their part with no concerns for anyone ! And if they want to sue for slander work away ! I have no lies to tell unlike unlimited lies from the mentioned parties
Please no keyboard warriors as it speaks for itself
