Did divers in Berlin find new clues?
Does the solution to the theft of jewels from the Dresden Green Vault lie at the bottom of a Berlin canal? Police diver searches for clues for two days – successful?
In the case of the jewel theft from the Dresden Green Vault, the police have ended their search for clues in a Berlin sewer. “We have now stopped the search,” said a police spokesman. About 20 divers from different federal states had searched the shipping channel on the Kiehlufer in the Neukölln district on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Shortly before Christmas, most of the jewelry that had been stolen in Berlin around three years ago was safe.
Process continues on January 10th
However, the police did not provide any information about the background to the search after the search ended on Wednesday. “With a view to the main hearing, we cannot give any details as to what was searched for or whether anything was found,” said a police spokesman on request. The trial in the case of the spectacular theft is scheduled to continue in Dresden on January 10th.
In the early morning of November 25, 2019, pieces of jewelry with a total of 4,300 diamonds and brilliants with a total value of over 113 million euros were stolen from the Green Vault. The perpetrators had also caused damage to property amounting to more than one million euros. The 31 individual parts were secured in Berlin and brought back to Dresden, where experts are currently examining the pieces.
Probably a deal between the prosecution and the defense
The return of the jewels appears to be preceded by a deal between a defense attorney and the judiciary. It was officially said that “the defense and the public prosecutor’s office, with the calculation of the court, talked about a procedural agreement and the return of any looted items that were still there.”
