  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The pieces stolen from the break-in at the Gruenes Gewoelbe (Green Vault) museum in Dresden contained more than 4,300 diamonds with an estimated value of more than 113 million euros. They included a breast star of the Polish Order of the White Eagle and an ornate diamond head-dress. Five members of the same family were handed sentences of between four years and four months and six years and two months. The treasures survived Allied bombing raids in World War Two, only to be carted off as war booty by the Soviet Union. They were returned to Dresden, the historic capital of the state of Saxony, in 1958.
