Almost a year and a half after the spectacular jewel theft from the Green Vault in Dresden, the case is moving again.
The police are looking for four other suspects.
The allegation is aiding and abetting serious gang theft, as the Dresden Public Prosecutor announced.
The four accused are accused of having prepared the actual act by spying on the crime scene in the Historisches Grünes Gewölbe at the end of November 2019.
They are said to have made the knowledge gained in the process available to the accused who were directly involved in the execution of the crime.

The video surveillance recordings show that the quartet was at the window through which the perpetrators penetrated the museum collection on November 25, according to a statement from the police.
In addition, the four accused had examined the showcase from which the jewelry was stolen.
The public prosecutor was unable to say whether they also took photos of the showcase and the window.
The investigative authority is only now turning to the public with the search, because internally all means have been exhausted, as a spokesman said.
The investigators hope that this will identify the quartet and provide information on the suspects' whereabouts.
He emphasized that the four accused are currently only suspected of being aiding and abetting serious gang theft, not an urgent suspicion.
Historical pieces of jewelery made of diamonds and brilliant-cut diamonds of hardly any appreciable value
During the spectacular break-in of the Treasury Museum on November 25, 2019, the perpetrators stole historical jewelery made of diamonds and brilliant-cut diamonds of hardly any value.
Almost a year later, on November 17, 2020, the police struck with a major raid in Berlin.
She arrested three suspicious young men and found tools, hard drives, computers, cell phones, machetes, axes and alarm weapons.
A 21-year-old was arrested in mid-December and his twin brother is still on the run.
As before, none of the four urgent suspects had spoken out in custody.
They are accused of serious gang theft and arson.
There is still no trace of the stolen pieces of jewelery from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The public prosecutor's office remains confident that they can clarify the whereabouts of the loot, emphasized a spokesman.
