The search for evidence in the case of the spectacular theft of jewels from the Green Vault in Dresden continues through Christmas. According to the Dresden police, about 20 police divers from different states have been searching for evidence in the Neukölln shipping channel on the Kiehlufer in the Neukölln district since the morning hours. About 150 meters of the channel must be searched.
“At the same time, emergency services protect the immediate environment. The measures will take some time,” the ministry said. Further details were not given. “Given the ongoing investigations, further information is not possible at the moment. This currently also includes the results of the search measures,” said the police.
Deal between defense lawyers and prosecutors yielded loot
About three years after the treasury break-in, most of the loot resurfaced shortly before Christmas. 31 items from the theft were secured in Berlin and returned to Dresden, where experts are currently examining the pieces. The return of the jewels was apparently preceded by a deal between a lawyer and the judiciary. There was “discussion between the defense and the prosecutor’s office, including the court, about a possible procedural agreement and the return of existing loot,” the official statement read.
The trial against the suspects will continue in mid-January
In the early morning of November 25, 2019, jewelry with a total of 4,300 diamonds and brilliants with a total value of more than 113 million euros was stolen from the Green Vault. The perpetrators had also caused property damage of more than a million euros. The slump made international headlines. Six young men are currently charged with gang theft and serious arson in this case. You are German and come from a well-known Arab family in Berlin. The trial will continue on January 10.
