The heist the men have been convicted in relation to saw 21 pieces of jewelry containing more than 4,300 diamonds, with a total insured value of at least 113.8 million euros ($129 million) stolen from a museum.
Journalists wait for admission to the Regional Court, a special hall of the Dresden Higher Regional Court, Dresden, Germany, Tuesday May 16, 2023, where the trial concerning the jewel theft from the Historic Green Vault Dresden is coming to an end.
The Dresden state court ruled that the five men — aged 24 to 29 — were responsible for the break-in at the eastern German city’s Green Vault Museum on Nov. 25, 2019, and the theft of 21 pieces of jewelry containing more than 4,300 diamonds, with a total insured value of at least 113.8 million euros . Officials said at the time that the items taken included a large diamond brooch and a diamond epaulette.
The men laid a fire just before the break-in to cut the power supply to street lights outside the museum, and also set fire to a car in a nearby garage before fleeing to Berlin. They were caught several months later in raids in Berlin. The plea bargain had been agreed to by four defendants, who subsequently admitted their involvement in the crime through their lawyers. The fifth defendant also confessed, but only to the procurement of objects such as the axes used to make holes in the museum display case, dpa reported.
