Overview

• The one-hour-35-minute documentary Stolen: Heist of the Century debuted globally on Netflix on August 8, 2025, and is produced by RAW based on the book Flawless.
• For the first time, Leonardo Notarbartolo and the Antwerp Diamond Squad detectives appear on camera together to recount the heist’s planning, sensor-disabling tactics and vault breach.
• The film reconstructs the thieves’ methods, including covering motion and light sensors with hairspray and duct tape, obscuring surveillance cameras and stealing security tapes to erase evidence.
• It revisits forensic breakthroughs such as the discovery of discarded emeralds and supermarket receipts that traced members of the School of Turin to arrests less than a week after the February 2003 robbery.
• Despite convictions and release dates—Notarbartolo served a decade behind bars and accomplices five years—nearly all of the stolen gems, estimated at $100 million, remain missing after more than two decades.
