Paul Allen, a notorious career criminal previously convicted for his role in a 53 million pound robbery in 2006, was shot in his kitchen as part of a failed assassination attempt. The attack occurred on July 11, 2019, when gunmen, following weeks of surveillance, fired six bullets into his home, leaving him paralyzed. Three men are currently on trial for conspiracy to murder, with prosecutors outlining that the shooting was premeditated and well-planned, albeit with significant mistakes that enabled police to quickly intervene.
The background to this is that Paul Allen is a career criminal and a very sophisticated criminal at that. He was convicted a number of years ago at Woolwich Crown Court for his part in the UK's biggest armed robbery.
The intention of the men who planned and carried out the shooting of Paul Allen on 11th July was to kill him, you'll have no doubt about that, Mr Shaw KC said.
Thirty-three million pounds was stolen, much of what is still outstanding. Jurors heard that he was shot with a 9mm Glock handgun after weeks of reconnaissance.
They made a number of mistakes, the prosecutor said. As you can see, the police attended with some resources. They took swabs, samples.
