While the gang knew how to pull off a robbery, which went far better than expected, they were stumped at how to handle such a vast and unplanned haul. The 75-year-old, who was once the country’s most wanted man and has spent almost half of his life in prison, said he would be willing to give evidence to an inquiry to help the Metropolitan Police restore its reputation following a series of scandals.

He was eventually released in 2019 and has just released a book on his life, written with investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre. The podcast, Kenny Noye: The Lost Tapes, is available online. A Million Ways to Stay on the Run, by Donal MacIntyre is out now. Kenneth Noye, a convicted murderer, who was also jailed for his role in the Brink’s-Mat gold bullion robbery, spent decades operating as a police informant and had alleged links to dozens of corrupt officers.
Blanchard told the Olive Press Derbah had been introduced to Noye, through his connections to fellow criminal John ‘Goldfinger’ Palmer, who lived in Tenerife for many years. Blanchard also reveals in a podcast how Derbah – who had many timeshare connections on the Costa del Sol – moved Noye around by private plane and boat immediately after he fled the UK. One of Britain’s most notorious and dangerous criminals has made an unexpected call for a public inquiry into police corruption, claiming the Met cannot truly reform unless the public understands the nature of the problem. In the late 70s and early 80s, John Palmer, who smelted the gold, was one of many wanted criminals who could sit on a Spanish beach without a care in the world. Spain was a crooks’ sanctuary as it had no extradition treaty with Britain.
New evidence emerges in murder case of high-profile Brit
Kenneth Noye, was born on May 24, 1997, and is the man responsible for the brutal murder of Stephen Cameron. The house with the view of Trafalgar is set high up above the bay, nestling amid swaying palms, with the scent of pine strong in the cooling breeze. Two storeys, white walls, spartan style, good taste. The contrast with Kenny Noye's cell in the 'A' unit in the secure-as-can-be wing of Whitemoor Prison, Cambridgeshire, is stark. But from his prison cell, the man who is serving time for stabbing Stephen Cameron to death on the M25, might reflect that things are not going too badly. The police are still trying to find the rest of the gold, and still failing. No offender has been more associated with police corruption…and he is the one offender who can speak about bent police officers with authority,” he said. “Undoubtedly, corruption was for him a business decision.” Before his wet-job (gangster slang for assassination), Decabral had claimed that there had been an attempt to stop him giving evidence. He alleged that on one occasion three bullets were pushed through his letter-box, although the police say he never reported this.Decabral was arrested, but the gun charges were dropped. The firearms - some deactivated - and the cash were later returned to him. His house was raided again by police just two days before he was executed. Kenneth Noye has been out for four years and yet Danielle is still living in witness protection. Is that fair? Of course it’s not.”

Remember what happened to Alan Decabral, the most emphatic witness at the M25 murder trial? The roly-poly crook with shoulder-length scruffy hair had been an eye-witness to the stabbing. He had turned up at the Old Bailey in his Roller and made a muffled titter pass round the courtroom when his mobile went off while he was giving evidence. Noye didn't laugh, though. Decabral told the jury: 'I saw the knife go into his chest, I saw the blood, I'll never forget his face.'

I don’t think that’s ever going to be the case. Handed to police by UK accountant Paul Blanchard, who worked for Derbah, they explain how the former Brinks Mat robber evaded justice after stabbing boxer Stephen Cameron to death on the M25 motorway, in Kent, in 1996.
As we went to press Kent Police confirmed they had received ‘three cassette tapes’ handed in as evidence, but told us: “We think this is a matter for the Spanish police.”
The Gold: Nine unanswered questions after the final BBC episode
A village called Ore? Well, after five days of digging up concrete, the cops gave up. Not Ore, then. But Spain might be a good answer for, at least, some of it. The fat man, too, had fallen out with his ex. Charmingly, she told the Sunday Mirror : 'My Alan Lied To Jail Noye'. The tabloid trumpeted: 'Now wife of murdered key witness says: "I'll give evidence for him at appeal". Ann Marie Decabral, 33, said that her late hubby Alan had 'embellished' his story in an attempt to get police to stop a drugs and firearms investigation involving him. 'I know people will hate me for saying this, but everyone deserves the right to a fair trial - even Kenneth Noye,' said Ann Marie. He said: “You’ll never get to the truth because no one wants to go to jail. But if you want to understand corruption then you must be able to talk about it without the risk of prosecution.” Over 500 hours of recordings of businessman Mohamed ‘Mo’ Derbah reveal how Noye, 75, was flown to France, then Tenerife, and finally was landed on the coast near Cadiz, where he hid for 22 months.But former detective inspector Ian Brown, who helped bring Noye to justice for his role in laundering some of the proceeds of the Brink’s-Mat raid, said there was little to be gained by listening to ageing criminals. The former gangster was found not guilty of the murder of DC John Fordham, with the jury acquitting him after deciding he acted in self-defence in December 1985.
