It was in the early 1960s that Fraser first met Charlie and Eddie Richardson of the Richardson Gang , rivals to the Kray twins . According to Fraser , it was they who helped him avoid arrest for the Great Train Robbery by bribing a policeman . Together they set up the Atlantic Machines fruit-machine enterprise , which acted as a front for the criminal activities of the gang . In 1966 , Fraser was charged with the murder of Richard Hart , who was shot at Mr Smith 's club in Catford while other Richardson associates , including Jimmy Moody , were charged with affray . A witness changed his testimony and the charges were eventually dropped , though Fraser still received a five-year sentence for affray . He was also tried in court in the so-called ' Torture trial ' , in which members of the Richardson Gang were charged with burning , electrocuting and whipping those found guilty of disloyalty by a kangaroo court . Fraser himself was accused of pulling out the teeth of victims with a pair of pliers . Following a trial at the Old Bailey in 1967 , he was sentenced to ten years ' imprisonment
