Five members of Berlin's Remmo family were handed prison sentences of between four years and four months and six years and three months by a district court in Dresden after being found guilty of raiding one of Europe's largest collections of treasures. The 2019 theft from the Green Vault was one of the most shocking heists in German history. Some 4,300 diamonds and other precious stones were stolen from 21 jewellery items estimated to be worth around €113m ($122m) but viewed by many as priceless. The defendants conducted reconnaissance missions and caused considerable damage before escaping to Berlin with some of the haul.
