Jewel thieves get short jail stint after museum heist worth over $100 million
Fox News
The Green Vault collection in Dresden contained diamond-encrusted items commissioned by Augustus the Strong as part of a rivalry with French King Louis XIV.
The men will serve between four and six years, with one other culprit, a family member, acquitted. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The legal teams discussed a plea deal in January as a result of police recovering many of the pieces, which four of the criminals agreed to and admitted their part in the theft. The fifth man only admitted to helping obtain the tools needed to enter the museum and break into the display case.
