In the book, Noye also meets the now retired police chief who brought him to justice over the Brink’s-Mat gold – but the crook still claims he never touched the gold. Roy Ramm, who was not a fan of the series overall (“I don’t think it does the inquiry justice”), agrees that the depiction is a “very sympathetic portrayal”. It wasn’t until he saw the TV news with his family that Noye understood that he couldn’t simply lie low and wait for the story to blow over.

But when Kent police sent a spotter team to southern Spain in July 1998, in response to rumours that Noye had been seen at a society show-jumping event, they could not arrest him at once. In particular, they objected to the implication that Noye was assisted by fellow Masons in initially evading justice. However, there was anger among Freemasons at what they said is The Gold’s “exaggerated and sensationalist” portrayal of Noye’s influence in the organisation.

Decabral told the jury: 'I saw the knife go into his chest, I saw the blood, I'll never forget his face. The police investigating the murder did plan to chat with Noye, however, because it was - how should one put this?Moreover, his own car was registered in a false name, Anthony Francis — one of Noye’s alleged aliases. Interestingly, Lloyd’s of London, the Brink’s-Mat insurers, sent solicitor Bob McCunn to investigate anyone connected with the case or suspected to have benefitted. He later learned that listeners had heard his son Kevin talking and mistaken it for Noye’s own voice. The money from Brink’s-Mat travelled around the world and even showed up in the Panama Papers in 2016, a leak of documents revealing how the rich hide their wealth in tax havens.

He stopped off to collect a friend, cleaned himself up in the man’s bathroom, and went on to the pub. Active as a fence, Noye was among those involved in laundering a huge quantity of stolen gold bullion taken during the Brink's-Mat robbery by six armed men on 26 November 1983. He was eventually released in 2019 and has just released a book on his life, written with investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre.

You don’t really know what was being paid for, who was taking a bit out along the way, and what happened with the rest of it,” he says. Mr Neville, himself a Freemason, examined Noye’s membership as part of Crime and The Craft, his book about Masonic involvement in criminality. Despite being in witness protection, she gave evidence in open court without screens to protect her identity. Police said a large number of people witnessed the killing, ‘and have asked in particular for the driver of a dark-coloured Range Rover- like vehicle to contact them, to assist with their enquiries’.
