Episode 425: How the lavish lifestyles of gangsters molls are being used as evidence to put them behind bars

A mother was jailed for money laundering offences and told by a court she could not use her children as a shield from the consequences of her criminality.

Gangsters moll Heather McNamara pleaded guilty to offences around cash and a Rolex watch but had said that if she went to prison it would have a negative effect on her children.

She is one of an increasing number of women finding that their wealthy lifestyles are forming evidence in cases against them.

Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the women behind the men of crime, about the trappings of dirty money and about a very special auction which will give us all a chance at buying up some seized bling.
