Five Remmo clan members sentenced for stealing over $129 million worth of 18th-century jewels from historic Green Vault museum in Dresden, Germany

  • The men broke into the museum in November 2019, cut power to nearby streetlights, and stole 21 pieces of jewelry containing over 4,300 diamonds.
  • The treasures have been housed in the museum for over 300 years and survived World War II bombings before the heist.
  • Most of the stolen jewels have been recovered, but some important pieces with large diamonds remain missing.
  • Two of the suspects were already serving time for stealing a gold coin worth $4 million from another Berlin museum.
  • The Remmo crime family to which the men belong is known for its loyalty and unwillingness to cooperate with authorities.
