Five men belonging to a notorious crime family network were convicted for stealing 18th-century jewels worth over $100 million from the Green Vault Museum in Dresden, Germany in 2019. The men will serve between four and six years, with one other culprit acquitted. The stolen jewels included a diamond-encrusted sword, a bow, a breast star, and an ornate headdress. The collection was assembled by Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, who commissioned many bejeweled pieces as part of a rivalry with French King Louis XIV.
