Berlin Court Convicts Italian Trio for Attempted Watch Heists

Despite convictions, the trio is released pending appeal due to non-finalized verdicts.

Two men from Naples were sentenced to three years in prison for attempting to steal luxury watches from Berlin motorists.
A 50-year-old woman received a 15-month suspended sentence for aiding the men by arranging accommodation.
The court's decision to lift arrest warrants allows the defendants to remain free while awaiting potential appeals.
Investigations involved multiple European countries, though no concrete mafia connections were confirmed during the trial.
The defendants admitted to the attempted robberies, which failed when the watches were not successfully taken.
