TL;DR Summary

Five members of Berlin's Remmo clan have been sentenced to more than four years in prison for their involvement in the $129 million jewelry heist at Dresden's Green Vault museum in 2019. The stolen pieces included a breast star of the Polish Order of the White Eagle, a jewel-encrusted sword, and an ornate headpiece covered in 4,300 diamonds. Two of the five defendants are already serving sentences for the theft of an enormous gold coin from Berlin's Bode Museum in 2017. The eastern state of Saxony has claimed damages amounting to almost 89 million euros for the stolen items, as well as for damage caused by the break-in.
