For the first time, Rabieh Remo’s two defenders spoke exclusively in an interview after the trial about the theft in the Green Vault. In the Exact story “The deal with the Remmos – The verdict in the green vault process” Kai Kempgens and Toralf Nöding talk about the procedure, the deal and the return of the booty. The two were instrumental in organizing and making possible the return of some of the stolen jewelry.
In the documentation, they also report on the night when the handover to the Dresden investigators took place in their Berlin office. “And then there was day X. Of course, as a defense attorney, you can’t keep things here, just for security reasons, for reasons of criminal law,” says Kempgens. “And of course we informed the public prosecutor’s office as soon as it was available.” That was the reason why the corresponding call in Dresden was only made at night.
The art theft from Saxony’s famous Treasury Museum on November 25, 2019 is considered one of the most spectacular in Germany. The perpetrators stole 21 historical pieces of jewelry made of diamonds and brilliants with a total value of 116.8 million euros and caused more than one million euros in damage.
