18 acquitted in massive Brussels Airport 2013 diamond heist - News Summed Up

18 acquitted in massive Brussels Airport 2013 diamond heist


Five years after a brazen multimillion-dollar diamond heist on the tarmac of Brussels Airport, a Belgian court on Thursday cited a lack of evidence as it acquitted 18 suspects in the case. One other person, suspected of being the mastermind, will hear his case in court later. The diamond heist was estimated at $50 million at the time and was one of the biggest of recent times. The court case in Brussels was supposed to bring closure to the case, yet with the acquittals, it has opened it up again, further adding to the mystery. "With such a case, it was not possible for a tribunal as competent as this one to condemn anyone."
