One of the mobsters behind the notorious $28million heist at The Pierre hotel is telling his story of the robbery from witness protection.

Nick Sacco, 76, is the last living member of the gang who stole a hoard of jewelry and cash from vaults and a safe deposit box at the upmarket New York address in 1972.

It boasts Aristotle Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and Yves Saint-Laurent as former residents.

The eight men caught after one of the jewels ended up in the hands of a FBI informant, but a bribe-taking judge meant ringleaders Bobby Comfort and Sammy Nalo were the only robbers who served time.
