Richard Monteith, 50, from Whitley Bay, is to plead guilty to murder.
Spanish police have charged Monteith and his wife Anne-Marie, with the murder of 63-year-old Diana Dyson, from Sheffield.
But according to Stephen Jakobi, a director of Fair Trials Abroad, Monteith has confessed to the contract killing of Mrs Dyson in the Spanish resort of Torremolinos in March 2002.
Richard Monteith is being held in Spain
Mr Jakobi said Monteith told his Spanish lawyer he had been offered up to £30,000 to carry out the killing.
He said the charity would still act for Monteith's 48-year-old wife as long as she maintained her innocence.
Mr Jakobi said: "Some admissions have been made. The Spanish lawyer said that developments in DNA testing had led to a confession.
"She said what he said was that it was a contract killing and that he was offered a large sum of money to do it."
Mr Jakobi confirmed the amount in question was between 25,000 and 50,000 euros (£16,600 - £33,200).
Tests had shown the DNA of hair found under the victim's fingernails was Mr Monteith's.
'Serious crime'
He is now expected to plead guilty at the forthcoming trial, expected to take place in "a month or two".
But Mr Jakobi said he was worried about the possibility of Mrs Monteith receiving a fair hearing.
He added: "The concern is that there is no money to pay for the legal defence of Mrs Monteith, who still declares her innocence and whose husband still declares her innocence.
"The Spanish legal system is useless for serious crime. Only the young and inexperienced take legal aid cases. The rates are so rotten that serious lawyers don't do it.
"On a murder charge, particularly one where her husband has pleaded guilty, you need a good lawyer."
The couple have been held in prison in Malaga since being charged after Mrs Dyson's body was found in her apartment in Torremolinos on 10 March, 2002.
Detectives believed she was dead for four or five days before she was found.
