In the UK, a 60-year-old woman was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for stealing diamonds worth £4.2 million in London in 2016. That is, about 5 million euros. Held in custody, this professional thief was fined just £244 sterling (293 euros), reports Guardianrelayed by Slate. Under British law, financially, the courts in London had no choice but to order the defendant to pay the money he had received when he was arrested in France…. That is, less than 300 euros.

In 2016, this woman posed as a diamond specialist commissioned by wealthy Russian clients to appraise seven stones at Boodle Jeweler in London’s Mayfair district. With the help of CCTV cameras, investigators were able to see that the thief had replaced the diamonds with obscene stones. She then fled with the precious stones to Brittany, where she was arrested before being extradited.

according to information Guardian, the thief tried to make his sister, who died in 2019, accused during his trial, without success. The two men found accomplices were sentenced to eight months and three years in prison, respectively. The diamond is not found.
