Revamped Report: The Green Vault Burglary Investigation Unfolding in Dresden

Four long years have passed since the Green Vault burglary shook Dresden, Germany. The case, which saw five members of the Remmo family sentenced to prison terms, remains an open book for the local law enforcement. Despite the conviction of the main offenders, the Dresden police continue their relentless pursuit of justice, with a special commission named "Epaulette" leading the charge.

The Epaulette team, initially boasting a hefty contingent, currently counts five detectives from the burglary squad. Their mission: follow up on leads and keep tabs on new developments. And should fresh intel emerge, rest assured that the investigators stand at the ready, eager to pounce on any opportunities that may arise.

The pursuit for justice is far from over. Traces of the stolen loot—consisting of valuable diamonds and brilliant-cut pieces—remain undiscovered. The police are also pursuing leads on other individuals believed to be involved in the heist or serving as accomplices.

On May 27th, 2023, the Dresden District Court reached a verdict, grassing five members of the extended Remmo family with prison sentences. A sixth defendant managed to escape conviction due to an alibi.

On the disastrous night of November 25, 2019, the perpetrators infiltrated Saxony's Treasury Museum, making off with 21 historical items carved out of diamond and brilliant-cut gems, summing up to a whopping 116.8 million euros in value, and causing over a million euros in damages.

While the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of the main perpetrators was a step in the right direction, the Green Vault burglary remains an unresolved case for the Dresden police. Museum-goers may breathe easily within Dresden's hallowed halls, but the investigation into this infamous crime leaves no room for complacency.
