正如北部迴聲所報導的那樣，犯罪將在上週的Teesside Crown Court的法官上進行定居。

現年77歲的羅傑·皮林（Roger Pilling）和48歲的同夥克雷格·貝斯特（Craig Best）在2023年因企圖在黑市上出售有價值的盎格魯 - 撒克遜硬幣而被定罪，並在2023年被判入獄。

As reported in The Northern Echo, the crime proceeds settlement in the case of Pilling was made by a judge at Teesside Crown Court last week.

正如北部迴聲所報導的那樣，犯罪將在上週的Teesside Crown Court的法官上進行定居。

The 2023 trial was told he was thought to have held 46 coins dating from 879AD, minted under the rule of King Alfred the Great of Wessex.

2023年的審判被告知，他被認為持有46枚幣，該硬幣的歷史可追溯到879AD，在韋塞克斯國王阿爾弗雷德（Alfred of Westex）的統治下鑄造。

All but two of the coins, which were said to hold particular historical and cultural significance, and valued at more than £750,000, were recovered by police after a “sting operation” in Durham in May 2019.

除兩枚硬幣外，所有硬幣據說具有特殊的歷史和文化意義，價值超過750,000英鎊，在2019年5月在達勒姆（Durham）進行的“刺痛行動”後，警方已追回。

Undercover officers staged a supposed valuation meeting between Best and a “expert” at The Royal County Hotel, in Old Elvet, at which three of the coins were recovered, while 41 others were seized when police simultaneously raided Pilling’s home in Lancashire.

臥底軍官在舊貓王的皇家縣酒店舉行了一場最佳和“專家”之間的估值會議，在那兒發現了三枚硬幣，而當警察同時突襲了皮林在蘭開夏郡的家中時，抓住了41枚硬幣。

The CPS Proceeds of Crime Division sought a confiscation order for the value of the two still outstanding coins, said to be the most valuable in Pilling’s collection.

CPS收益犯罪部門尋求沒收命令，以確保兩者仍然未償還硬幣的價值，據說這是Pilling收藏中最有價值的。

He previously claimed he had accidentally broken those coins and so discarded them.

他此前聲稱他意外折斷了這些硬幣，因此丟棄了它們。

But the court found his account was likely to be untruthful.

但是法院認為他的帳戶可能是不真實的。

The coins are thought to have been part of a 300-piece hoard which was found in Leominster, Herefordshire, in 2015, but which were never handed over to the Crown as “treasure”.

人們認為硬幣是在2015年在赫里福德郡的萊明斯特發現的300件ho積的一部分，但從未將其作為“寶藏”移交給王冠。

So far only 72 of the coins have been recovered.

到目前為止，只有72個硬幣已經回收。

(Image: The Northern Echo) Adrian Foster, Chief Crown Prosecutor for the CPS Proceeds of Crime Division, said: “Roger Pilling intended to sell these rare and important coins for his own gain.

（圖片：北迴聲）CPS犯罪部門的首席檢察官阿德里安·福斯特（Adrian Foster）說：“羅傑·皮林（Roger Pilling）打算出售這些稀有和重要的硬幣以供自己獲得利益。

“He knew that these coins were stolen treasure and instead of choosing to report a crime, he chose to try and profit from it.

“他知道這些硬幣是被盜的寶藏，而不是選擇舉報犯罪，而是選擇從中獲利。

“The CPS worked with the police to value his criminal benefit from the attempted selling of these rare Anglo-Saxon coins. which should have been given to the Crown.

“ CPS與警方合作，以估計自己的犯罪利益，試圖出售這些稀有的盎格魯 - 撒克遜硬幣。

“The Confiscation Order set by the Judge reflects all the assets available to the defendants.

“法官設定的沒收令反映了被告可用的所有資產。
