He also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transfer criminal property and one count of transferring criminal property, at Oxford Crown Court in April 2024.
It is believed that the distinctive fully functioning toilet, entitled America, which had been installed as an artwork at the Oxfordshire country house where Sir Winston Churchill was born, has now been split up and disposed of, Oxford Crown Court was told.
Frederick Sines, 36, also known as Frederick Doe, of Winkfield, Windsor, Berkshire, and Bora Guccuk, 41, from west London, each deny one count of conspiracy to transfer criminal property.
An “audacious raid” was carried out to steal a £2.8 million gold toilet from Blenheim Palace, a court has heard.
It is alleged that Doe and Guccuk agreed to help one of the men who carried out the burglary – a defendant called James Sheen – to sell some of the gold in the following weeks.
