Following a trial at the Old Bailey brothers Louis Ahearne, 36, and Stewart Ahearne, 46, along with Daniel Kelly, 46, were each found guilty of conspiracy to murder.
Earlier, Louis Ahearne was sentenced to 33 years, his older brother Stewart Ahearne for 30 years and Kelly for 36 years plus an extra five years on licence.
He denied being part of the conspiracy to kill Allen and blamed Kelly as the person who pulled the trigger.
It can now be reported that Kelly - who did not attend the sentencing hearing due to ongoing severe back pain - is one of three men wanted by Japanese authorities as part of a landmark extradition request.
