(National-UAE) A recent plea deal with the jewel thieves responsible for a spectacular museum heist in Germany will give gangsters the impression that “we can do what we want,” a leading expert on the country’s so-called “Arab clans” has said.
Five members of the Remmo family were handed prison terms last Tuesday over the 2019 break-in at Dresden’s Green Vault in which priceless 18th-century treasures were stolen.
Several had their sentences reduced after a deal with prosecutors led to the recovery of 31 stolen items which, a judge said, might otherwise have been lost for ever. Some were allowed to walk free pending appeals and a sixth defendant was cleared.
