Fresh From The Old Bailey

This is a crime show, straight from the mouths of those who sit in the backs of The Old Bailey's 19 courts all day, every day. The Court News UK team: the scribes of the last news agency to operate full-time from London's world famous Central Criminal Court.

Each episode investigates a recent case covered by Court News UK. From big ticket fraud to gangland murder to the surreal story of "a transgender male who had sexual relationships with three woman by using an Ann Summers device in the dark".

Season One covers five cases to have concluded in 2023. Starting with Anthony Constantinou: "The Wolf of Bond Street".

Thirty-three year old Constantinou filched millions in a Ponzi scheme that operated out of a posh office block in the heart of the City of London, as plain as day.

There's also the story of Frank Partridge, the crooked cop who became notorious as the stripper-loving party-boy 'Sheriff of Soho'. And a bunch of money mules in Manolo Blahnik, who brought the full TOWIE spirit to the international cash laundering trade.

Presented by Gavin Haynes.
