Robbery in the Green Vault: Investigators have little hope of finding the art treasures

So

far, none of the stolen

art treasures

have been found

during the

raid

.

The officers were mostly looking for possible evidence, such as storage media, clothing and tools.

"It is also our goal to look for the stolen jewels," said a spokesman for the

Dresden

public prosecutor

.

The investigators, however, dampened

hopes

that the stolen objects would ever return to

Dresden

.

"You should be very lucky that you would still find it a year after the crime," said

Thomas Geithner

, spokesman for the

Dresden police

.

But he emphasized: "Hope dies last." The arrest of the

suspects

is the real success.

Berlin's Senator for the Interior,

Andreas Geisel, also

called the arrests a warning sign to the

Berlin clan milieu

.

“Nobody should believe that they can override this state and its rules.

The rule of law is the measure of all things.

He alone enforces order.

He's doing it more resolutely and smarter than some criminals believe, ”said Geisel.

During the large-scale

raid *

on Tuesday with

1640 police officers

from eight federal states, including special forces of the federal government and the states of

Berlin

and

Saxony

,

18 objects in Berlin were searched

in the morning

.

These included ten apartments as well as garages and vehicles.

The focus of the searches was the

Neukölln

district

.

In that case there had already been several missions in

Berlin

.

In September, the focus was on production facilities; this may have been about the getaway car.

Previously, the special commission "Epaulette" found evidence in a Neukölln Internet café and an apartment.

The break-in of the Dresden treasury, the

Grünes Gewölbe

, caused a stir around the world last November.

At that time, two men had

looted

several

pieces

 of

baroque jewelry

made of gold, diamonds and brilliant-cut diamonds

of hardly measurable value.

So far there has been no

hot

lead to either the

perpetrators

or the

jewels

.

Only the escape vehicle was found completely burned out in an underground car park in Dresden a few hours after the coup.
