Bullion, bullets and ‘Mr Big’

The 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery saw thieves make off with £26 million in gold bullion and diamonds in the ‘crime of the century’ - and a number of suspects linked to the heist turned to defence solicitor, Henry Milner, later dubbed the ‘Mr Big of Criminal Briefs’. Award-winning Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright talks to the man who has defended some of Britain’s most notorious underworld figures over four decades, including police and 'road rage' killer Kenneth Noye (pictured), former Kray Twins enforcer Freddie Foreman (aka ‘Brown Bread Fred’) and ruthless villain John ‘Goldfinger’ Palmer.
