In connection with the spectacular theft of jewels from the historic Green Vault in Dresden in November 2019, charges have been brought against the six urgent suspects. The men between 23 and 28 years of age are accused of serious gang theft, arson and particularly serious arson, as the Dresden public prosecutor announced on Thursday. They come from a well-known large family of Arab origin in Berlin, two of whom have been sentenced to youth imprisonment for stealing gold coins from the Berlin Bode Museum.
On November 25, 2019, two men broke into the famous Saxon treasury museum in the Residenzschloss, punched holes in a display case with an ax and tore out the jewels attached. Since then, there has been no trace of the roughly a dozen pieces of jewelery made from diamonds and brilliant-cut diamonds from the 17th and 18th centuries, which were of hardly estimable value. The investigators are convinced that the coup is on the account of the Remmo clan.
