jewelry dating back as far as the 17th century. during the trial, some of the issues co operated with a prosecution leading to the recovery off a launch. pause of the loot of following the story for us is our correspondent. i'm in a guardian with joins us now. emily, tell us more about the verdicts that have just been announced. yes. so 6 men were on trial and in the haste of the start and goes from the greenville and dressed them. and they managed to steal jewelry was a 113000000 euro. so really a spectacular haste. just as you said, the, the, the, the, the 6 man all set to belong to the realm of family, which has a button based on very large family. um, which is sort of seen as an a tourist organized crime, gang, and bowling. i'm and the letter that's been handed down now is um we're seeing

sentences of up to 6 years, i'm 3 months. so what do you use take into consideration here? is that these ma'am? all now in the mid twenty's to sort of late twenty's. so at the time of the break and 3 and a half years ago, some of them are quite young. so some of those sentences that were handed down the recording to do schools. that's why some of them are a bit less more than a bit more. but a in total of up to 6 do is i'm 3 months now lives, number of these gems have actually been recovered. how was that possible? that was possible because the defense actually struck a deal with prospect with the prosecution of the 6 men that were on trial. and they, um, oh, well, 4 of them really made a deal to say that we will show you with the um, the certain cuz the hidden will be heading them and then return. we're hoping for a less, a sentence, a mild,

a sentence. this was highly criticized and there were concerns initially that that would mean that, you know, people meant the minimum trial would actually be able to, to, of course, free the box is not that has not been and that's not the case now, but some ultimately 18 of the $21.00 pieces of jewelry were recovered, 3 of them are still missing and one of them not still missing is the um, the, the white to the dress them white diamond which has a 50 cart diamond incredibly valuable and its possible for left, which is sort of a shoulder diamond to shoulder, to re um, it's expected to be already so, so i sold on so there's very little hope that it will be recovered at this stage. and even from if you look at the drury that has been returned, some of them on the 10th over times in the present damaged condition. so to take some time until the drury will be back in the place in the museum,

emily guarding. thank you very much. for this update, and we have more breaking news here in germany. and another trial, the former audi see, or rupert stoplight has confessed to his role in the diesel gate full of scandal of his trial and munich stoplight is now the highest ranking for the executive of the company to make a confession in the emissions cheating scandal that rocked the prime company folks far as low a told the cost that off the line of the scam and 2015 stuff that neglected to inform business part this guilt as part of play deal that we'll see stop, laugh, escaped jail time and for more on this i'm no joined by laws, how to from dw business law. so you've been following this whole scandal, this whole saga, since it's a began, what has a stop the actually pleaded guilty to waste sensually that he knew what was going

on and i'll stop. let us see all of our the was just one of the brands and volkswagen. he is not the man behind diesel gate, but of course he played a major part by allowing this to go on and he just had a little quotes here. he is this even quote, he neglected to inform business partners via by accepting that vehicles equipped with the legal software. what go on sale? no, of course in a diesel gate, what happened uh, volkswagen. seated on admission test using software and allowed cars on the street that had emissions. uh that we're just not illegal anymore by uh current environment standards. uh, what did it lead to? of course not only environmental damage, but among other things volkswagen. to almost go bankrupt. volkswagen had to pay $1.00, a 1000000000 euros and finds audi itself had to pay $800000000.00. so there was a severe damage. and as tablet you essentially says that was not that's always

fault, but he could have done more to prevent this from happening. now he have long denied any involvement in this scandal. do we know what it, what he's a sentence? right? yes, we do, and it will be a very mild sentence. so the court had initially said he would go to jail for 2 and a half years. if you would not confess, and that is essentially why he confessed, and now he's going to get a 2 years suspended sentence. so no jail time for him. and he has to pay 1100000 euros in restitution. it was obviously very important for him not to go to jail, to financial things. another matter. now, is it fair? i mean, what message does this and it's a terrible message. i personally think it's a very mild, a sentence. it's one point. 1000000 yours just to put that in perspective, robot stock or a c o mates 7000000 a year and he will see over several years. so he made millions, millions and millions and now he has to give back

a fraction of that. so little bit more, this modest fraction. so now this is almost like a bank rubber stealing uh 10 millions and as a punishment, you make him give up to 1000000 of that. and what message does that send? it makes you wonder why we don't just all become bank robbers because apparently corporate crime, at least pays, even if you get caught both sides of the w business. thank you. and we go to ukraine and russia has launched overnight as strikes on keeps that you pregnant officials are describing us exceptionally intense. the head of teams, military administration says russell hughes. drones proves miss austin, probably ballistic missiles in these attacks. friends, chief, combined to set old russian projectiles were destroyed in keys space. russia has mounted the flurry of strikes on the train in recent days of correspondent
