In 2019 the gang broke into a museum in Dresden and stole treasures worth €113 million (£98m).
Initially there were fears that, like the golden coin, the treasure was lost forever.
The items were part of a treasure trove collected in the 18th Century by Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony. He not only amassed pieces covered in diamonds and precious stones but designed the Green Vault in which to display them. Even one of the thieves expressed surprise during the trial that they'd been able to saw through window bars apparently without detection, despite the noise generated by their cutting equipment.
She says that a system designed to scan the outer walls of the museum had failed, and that guards sitting in the central security room, who saw events unfold on their monitors, were slow to call the police.A sword encrusted with several large diamonds and dozens of smaller ones was recovered by police
