A fabricated royal identity. A filmed plane crash followed by concealed wreckage. A bank-robbery plot that ended in a collar-bomb killing. These files trace extraordinary events through the investigation and the offences that brought prison sentences.
Each case records an imposed prison sentence. The event labels identify when that sentence or judgment was recorded; the case status explains what the cited record establishes.
