The Dresden state court has sentenced five members of the 'Remmo Clan' criminal gang to between four years and three months for stealing jewels worth over €113m in a heist on Dresden's Green Vault Museum, one of the most spectacular thefts in Germany. Police have recovered many of the stolen jewels, including a diamond-encrusted sword, a breast star of the Polish Order of the White Eagle, and an ornate diamond headdress, but fears remain that other items may be lost forever. The five convicted men were also found guilty of arson, damage to property, and intentional arson.
