A group of well-dressed young Russians splashed out £75,000 on Champagne during a wild night of drinking in an exclusive nightclub on Sardinia's Costa Smeralda but then disappeared before paying the bill.

The eight Russians, who claimed to be the offspring of wealthy oligarchs, ploughed their way through around 90 bottles of Cristal Champagne worth 86,000 euros at Billionaire, a nightclub owned by the former Formula One impresario Flavio Briatore.

At least he can afford it.

If they're daft enough to let someone run up a £75K bar bill without at least getting a look at a credit card, more fool them.

The stuff belonged to Flavio Briatore...

he won't even notice it's gone.

It's like you or me losing 5p down the back of the sofa.

Yes but they arrived on a megayacht at a club frequented by Billionaires hence the name. It was the first time it had happened. Surprising really.

Considering that chartering their yacht costs 600,000 euros per week + expenses, I am sure they did it only for a thrill.

This. You don't get into those sorts of places or put in the position where it could happen without being a one in a million con man and there were a group of them.

8 people + 90 bottles = 11 bottles (or 66 glasses) a piece therabouts. Russian-stereotype or not, that's quite a fair few units (50 or so) so they probably were too hammered to remember such trivial things as the bill at the end. 8-)
