Edward John Maher Stole $1.5 Million In 1993

[TheMorningStar]

A fugitive British security guard suspected of absconding with a van containing $1.5 million in a 1993 heist has been arrested in Missouri after it was discovered that he has been living with his family in the U.S. under an assumed name for 15 years. Edward John Maher, known in the U.K. as "Fast Eddie" since he vanished after driving off with 1 million pounds in cash, was apprehended by the FBI and police in Ozark, Mo., on Wednesday, according to FBI agent Josh Nixon.
"Our investigation with Ozark Police Department pretty much determined he was likely the fugitive," Nixon told The Springfield, Mo. News Leader. "He was fully cooperative when he was confronted."
Maher, who was working as a cable installer and living in the tiny town of Ozark, once apprehended was positively identified as the suspect in the 1993 robbery, where he drove off with the cash in a van that had been parked in front of a Lloyds Bank in Felixstowe, England, while his fellow security guard made a delivery inside. Investigators at the time reportedly found two abandoned getaway cars nearby.
The news media in Britain has called "Fast Eddie's" 1993 robbery "the perfect crime."

The news media in Britain has called "Fast Eddie's" 1993 robbery "the perfect crime."

They'll need to revise their estimation of it, now he has been caught. I wonder if it was worth it to him?

It doesn't seem like they have concrete proof of the robbery. He can spin a story (the mob forced him to steal the money & he had to flee to America so they didn't kill him) to get off of that in Britain anyway.
Here he is just looking at immigration fraud (all they will do is deport him) and the weapons charges which are shaky as he bought them legally but used his brothers info (which is why its a crime). I doubt they will hold him on those either...I think we will ship him back to the UK to face the robbery charges where his wife can sell their story to the Sun!!!
I doubt he has any of the money (otherwise why install cable?) so if others are involved he can throw them under the bus!

British police said Maher — who was arrested in rural Missouri earlier this year on immigration charges — has been deported from the U.S. and appeared in court on Tuesday. Police said 57-year-old Maher did not enter a plea to the charge of theft and will be kept in custody until a July 17 hearing.

I am having trouble finding any update since with new about what happened at the hearing on 17 July....... Can anybody help?
