A LUXURY Marbella mansion once home to a Lithuanian mafia boss is back on the rental market – for nearly €1,000 a night.

The sprawling villa in upmarket Nagüeles was owned by alleged drug kingpin Sergejus Beglikas, according to Lithuanian newspaper Kauno diena.

The wheelchair-bound mobster, currently in jail in Lithuania, is accused of leading an international crime ring involved in drug trafficking, contract killings and fraud.

But his €4-million former estate is now back on the market for €26,000 a month – working out at around €860 a night.

Sitting in the exclusive Sierra Blanca area of Marbella, the 1,157-square-metre property boasts views across the Mediterranean and towards La Concha mountain.

The seven-bedroom mansion comes with vast terraces, manicured gardens and a hot tub and barbecue area.

Inside, there is a sauna, gym and private cinema, alongside a fireplace, lift, alarm system and CCTV.

But behind the luxury lies a remarkable criminal history.

Beglikas, 54, was first arrested in Spain in 2019 as part of an international investigation into a major organised crime network.

Spanish and Lithuanian authorities accused him of leading the group, which was allegedly involved in cocaine and hashish trafficking, money laundering and contract killings.

Police seized a €3-million fortune from Beglikas during a raid on his Marbella home in May that year – including gold bars, diamonds and heaps of cash.

He had been living in Spain since 2005, he told Spanish outlet El Español.

The investigation involved almost 500 officers from five European countries and led to 22 arrests.

Authorities estimated the organisation had generated around €680 million in profits since 2016.

Beglikas denied being a drug trafficker or killer, telling El Español: “I am not an angel, but I do not traffic or kill.”

He was released on €15,000 bail after his first arrest and remained in Spain while fighting extradition to Lithuania.

He was arrested again in Spain in December 2024 during an international police operation targeting a separate scheme – an encrypted communications platform called Matrix.

Lithuanian authorities said Beglikas was involved in selling the encrypted messaging service to criminal organisations in a bid to help them communicate undetected.

Investigators were able to infiltrate the system, however, intercepting communications linked to drug trafficking, arms dealing and money laundering.

Beglikas was eventually extradited to Lithuania in March 2025.

According to Lithuanian newspaper Kauno diena, he is now facing charges of organising and leading an armed criminal association, large-scale drug trafficking and smuggling, money laundering and customs fraud.

The case was sent to court earlier this month, with Beglikas still being held in custody.
