LONDON- The lawyer for "Great Train Robber" Ronnie Biggs says the ailing ex-convict is being transferred from a hospital to a London nursing home.
Earlier this month, 80-year-old Biggs was freed from jail on compassionate grounds.
Biggs is one of Britain's most notorious criminals. He was a member of a gang that stole 2.6 million pounds from a Glasgow-to-London mail train in 1963. That is equivalent to at least 40 million pounds, or US$65 million, today.
Biggs was jailed but escaped soon after. He spent decades in exile in Brazil before agreeing to return to Britain, and jail, in 2001.
He had a series of strokes and other health problems. Lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano said Biggs will be moved Monday to a north London nursing home.
