TL;DR Summary

Five members of the "Remmo clan" have been sentenced to up to six years in prison for stealing priceless 18th-century jewels worth over $123 million from the Green Vault museum in Dresden in 2019. The gang members, who are known for their ties to organized crime, were charged with aggravated gang theft and serious arson. Most of the stolen jewels have been recovered, and a sixth family member was acquitted. The plea deal has been criticized for not requiring the defendants to reveal their accomplices. The Green Vault collection was assembled by Augustus the Strong and survived World War II before being returned to Dresden in 1958.
