Lee Murray

Lee Brahim Lamrani-Murray (born 12 November 1977) is a Moroccan-British convicted bank robber and former mixed martial artist. During his MMA career from 1999 to 2004, he fought 12 times, including a victory in the Ultimate Fighting Championship at UFC 46. He organised the Securitas depot robbery in February 2006, where around £53 million in cash belonging to the Bank of England was stolen by Murray and his associates. It was the largest known cash robbery in the world during peacetime. Following the robbery, Murray fled to Morocco, where he was arrested in June 2006. Although the United Kingdom had its extradition request denied, Murray was convicted in 2010 in a Moroccan court for his role in the robbery and sentenced to 10 years in prison; this was extended to 25 years after a failed appeal. As of 2025, Murray is incarcerated in Tiflet, Morocco. UFC president Dana White said in 2008 regarding Murray: "He's a scary son of a bitch, and I don't mean fighter-wise".
