DI Tony Brightwell: After the Brink’s-Mat investigation, he remained in the police force for a while before transitioning to the private sector, working for security firms. He is now 76 years old.
John Palmer: After being acquitted in connection to the robbery, he lived in Tenerife and became known as “Goldfinger.” He was later sentenced to jail for timeshare fraud, declared bankrupt, and arrested again for fraud allegations. In 2015, he was murdered in Essex, and the case remains unsolved.
