Footballers Ashley Cole and Tom Huddlestone were targeted in a series of burglaries and robberies linked to the theft of a tiara worth £3.5m, a trial has heard.
Mr Cole and his partner Sharon Canu were bound by cable ties when they were robbed at their home in January 2020.
Their two young children were present and Ms Canu was threatened with a knife, Nottingham Crown Court heard.
A total of 11 defendants have been charged with various offences.
Only one - Kurtis Dilks, 34, from Clifton in Nottingham - was allegedly involved in robbing Mr Cole and Ms Canu.
