Trial opens of six men accused of daring £95m Dresden jewellery heist

Suspects in carefully choreographed 2019 raid on city's Green Vault appear in court amid tight security

The trial of six men accused of stealing 18th-century jewels from a German museum has begun in Dresden amid tight security and questions over whether the treasures will ever be recovered.

The defendants, who are brothers and cousins aged between 23 and 28, appeared in court in handcuffs and holding large folders in front of their faces. They had slung jackets over their heads to avoid being photographed.
