The Hatton Garden heist mastermind will not have to return to prison for failing to repay his share from the audacious £13.7million raid.
Brian Reader, 81, has been found by a judge to be too unwell to be jailed for only handing over 6% of his £6.6million share.
The Crown Prosecution Service has recovered just over £406,000 from Reader despite the confiscation order he was hit with in January 2018.
He had until April 2018 to pay the £6.6m back or face seven years in jail. It can now be revealed that a judge has decided he should not go to prison due to his “mental and physical” health.
