Robbery at the Green Vault. - Before Convicts Are Called to Serve Time in Prison

On November 25, 2019, a stunning art heist took place at Saxony's esteemed Jewelry Museum. Thieves managed to steal 21 spectacular jewelry pieces made of diamonds and brilliants, leaving behind damages worth over a million Euros. To make their escape, they even set one of their getaway cars on fire in the underground garage of a residential building.

Come May 2023, the Landgericht Dresden brought justice, with a total of five young men from the notorious Berliner Remmo-Clan sentenced to lengthy prison terms. Interestingly, four of them had served their arrest warrants under supervision as part of a plea deal. However, the fifth individual had to stay behind bars. One of their relatives belonging to a famous Arabic family was cleared of all charges. While a significant portion of the stolen goods was recovered as a result of the deal, some of the most prized pieces are still unaccounted for.
