4: It's All About The Money

Trial By Media

Four people are on trial for their alleged involvement in a series of million-pound burglaries targeting celebrities including Tamara Eccleston, Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard and the late Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. A gang of international thieves carried out an Ocean’s 11-style heist on luxury jeweller Boodles, by swiping £4.2million worth of diamonds for pebbles. And the infamous Hatton Garden raid, where £14million were stolen from a jeweller’s safety deposit.
