Five men have been convicted of stealing jewels in the Green Vault in Dresden. Prosecutors faced a dilemma – and made a deal.
The night of November 25, 2019, Dresden old town. Flames blaze in a cooking pot filled with petrol and diesel in the gauge house near the August Bridge. An electrical box starts to burn. Shortly before five in the morning, the street lighting around the nearby Green Vault gradually goes out. The treasury in which the jewels of the Saxon electors are stored. The diversionary maneuver is the prelude to one of the most spectacular raids in German post-war history.
Tuesday morning, Dresden District Court. Five men are convicted for the theft, they are between 24 and 29 years old and receive prison sentences of four years and four months to six years and three months. One accused is acquitted. They all have a family name: Remmo, also spelled Remo. They belong to an extended family of Arabic origin that is associated with organized crime in Berlin. The verdict caused a stir: the public prosecutor’s office agreed to an exchange.
The course of events is considered film-ready
