Diamonds in the news: I'M A £40M DIAMOND THIEF.. & I GOT AWAY WITH IT.
Excerpt:
JOAN Hannington strides into the luxury hotel, takes a good look around and asks: "Anyfing 'ere worf nicking?" No one knows quite how to react until Joan, wearing a trilby, bright-red lipstick and sunglasses starts laughing like a drain.
Not so long ago nobody was laughing, least off all some of London's most exclusive jewellers as she conned them out out of &L&40million of gems over ten years.
And she was never caught.
Joan was so good at what she did that she was known as The Godmother. Now the book she has written about her life is to be turned into the movie Diamond with Gwyneth Paltrow playing Joan.
Joan is set to collect &L&1million from the film rights and jokes that it will be the first "straight" money she has ever earned.
Despite the tell-all book and movie, Joan, 47, is not worried that the boys in blue will be knocking on her door. Sipping on another large vodka and coke, she points out coolly that her story "could all be a pack of lies".
