Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer thanked the police and judiciary for their “first-class work” after finding most of the loot from the Green Vault.
"Saxony says: Thank you," said the CDU politician on Saturday.
“The valuable works of art from the Green Vault are part of our country’s cultural heritage.
Only through the determined and professional work of the police and public prosecutors could the perpetrators be identified, arrested and the crime solved.”
