Key figures faced varied outcomes, with some receiving remarkable sentences. Noye was handed a 14-year prison term for conspiracy related to handling stolen gold and evading VAT payments.
John Parry, on the other hand, returned to Tenerife after being acquitted. Despite law enforcement’s efforts to track down the culprits and disrupt the laundering of profits, a substantial portion of the bullion remained untraceable.
Near the end, revelations from Nicki Jennings and Tony Brightwell highlight that only £13 million of the gold had been accounted for, leaving another £13 million unaccounted for.
Boyce visits Noye in his cell, urging him to reveal the location of the missing half. Noye, however, taunts Boyce, claiming he’ll be remembered for making the gold disappear without a trace and leading investigators on a futile chase.

Jennings and Brightwell conclude that the gold was likely divided at the start of the operation. Only two robbers were ever convicted, suggesting others managed to escape with their share of the loot. One scene reveals another robber living carefree abroad, seemingly untouched by the law.
The team decides to revisit the earliest stages of the case, starting with the “six blokes in a van,” indicating their determination to resolve the mystery surrounding the missing half of the bullion.
For those intrigued by the real-life events behind the dramatization, additional details about the actual individuals involved are available once the series timeline concludes.
