The process of stealing jewels from the Green Vault at the Dresden Regional Court is now four weeks late – due to the corona pandemic.
According to a court spokesman, eight appointments have been canceled since the beginning of the main hearing against six suspects at the beginning of February, mainly due to Covid 19 diseases among those involved in the proceedings. A good dozen who were supposed to be questioned there would have to be reloaded.
The six young men between the ages of 23 and 28 are charged with aggravated gang theft, arson and particularly aggravated arson. You come from a well-known Arab family in Berlin. In the early morning of November 25, 2019, the members of the Remmo clan are said to have stolen 21 pieces of jewelry with a total of 4,300 diamonds and brilliants from the treasury with a total value of over 113 million euros and left property damage of more than one million euros. They are also accused of having set fire to a power box in the old town and a getaway car in the underground car park of a residential building.

One of the accused broke his silence at the end of March and admitted his involvement in the preparations for the crime, naming a relative. The 22-year-old from Berlin, who often followed the process as a spectator, was arrested Tuesday on strong suspicion of aiding and abetted and is in custody.
The trial is currently scheduled to end in October, with the exception of four weeks in the summer. It will continue on May 31st. Because of the age of two of the accused at the time of the crime – we were not yet 21 years old and therefore adolescents – the Greater Criminal Chamber of the Regional Court negotiated as a juvenile chamber.
