Landmark ruling approves first trial without jury
The green light for a judge-only trial was given because of a “very significant” danger of jury tampering in a case involving a £1.75 million (€2.05m) armed robbery at a Heathrow Airport warehouse in February 2004.
There have already been three Old Bailey trials in the case which has been beset by problems and is already thought to have cost taxpayers £24m (€28m).
