The Untold Story Of The World's Greatest Diamond Robbery

#CriminalMastermind #TrueCrimeStory #DiamondRobbery #truecrime
In today's video, we delve into the intriguing story of the Antwerp Diamond Heist, a legendary diamond heist crime that shook the world in 2003. Situated in Antwerp's renowned diamond district, a global hub for diamond trade, a vault containing precious gems worth an estimated $100 million became the target of a mastermind thief named Leonardo Notarbartolo. As a professional thief with a knack for social manipulation, Notarbartolo assembled a team of skilled individuals, each known only by aliases such as "Speedy," "The Monster," "The Genius," and "The King of Keys."
This gripping tale unfolds as the team expertly bypasses the vault's state-of-the-art security system, which included motion detectors, heat sensors, a complex alarm system, and round-the-clock surveillance. Employing ingenious methods, they cunningly used aluminum to deceive the magnetic field and meticulously manipulated the sensor circuits' wiring. Working mostly in darkness and utilizing brief flashes of light for guidance, they successfully neutralized security measures, such as heat sensors, light sensors, and motion detectors.
Despite the capture of Notarbartolo and his team, the majority of the stolen diamonds whiche worth more than $100 Million were never recovered and believed to have been dispersed in the black market. the thieves later claimed that the heist was part of an insurance fraud scheme and that the reported value of the stolen diamonds was exaggerated.
The Antwerp Diamond Heist continues to captivate the world, generating extensive media coverage, documentaries, and even inspiring movies and series on Amazon. Join us as we unravel the thrilling details of this audacious true crime, its impact on the diamond industry, and its enduring legacy as one of the most daring greatest heists in history.

Thieves put in a lot of effort and thoughts into stealing. But not how to live after it.

[@Agapy8888]

Profound commitment

[@RobbersIQ]

They all do the same mistake

[@JulieIelasi-lt7yp]

You reckon

[@jamielancaster01]

Those diamonds are worthless. Jewelers buy diamonds at extremely low prices, because there’s no intrinsic value to them. No matter what you may hear diamonds are not rare. Try selling a diamond you already own to a jewelry store - you won’t find any takers. The only place you will find that will purchase your diamond is a pawnshop and they are only going to give you pennies on the dollar.

[@theresemom1702]

I agree with you on this 💯

[@nserekoraymond8593]

Its amazing how robbers don't want to be robbed.

[@shevoy_000]

So much planning and then you mess up on the simplest of things which is what gets you caught.

[@paidtourist6563]

All of that...because "the fast one" decided to be "the dumb one"

It's not everyday that crime pays but this 1 paid greatly, am sure the master mind was not badly treated in jail knowing how much money is waiting for him outside. Am sure that leornado is proud of this crime even today, money is money no matter how it was acquired, love the ending under dog won

[@dontwatchface7589]

This was most likely an insurance scam that’s why he was prosecuted to the full extent but they still gotta give some jail time

[@shicrapt]

The driver was the one trusted the most by Leonardo, yet he was totally useless. He contributed nothing to the heist but wait in the car. That's why he was so nervous and careless and got them caught. Any of the other four could have been the driver.

Obviously won’t be made common knowledge but I’d love to know who took the wrap for giving him so much information and how they’ve tightened security since.

[@shicrapt]

Imagine installing all those layers of security but without demanding your government to pass more severe sentences for robbery instead of just 5 years.

[@pharmphresh]

There's always one weak link among the gang who does the least work, but causes the most harm to the team. Imagine every perfect action being ruined by the ordinary get away driver

[@danieledet8840]

[@xsenjhiro]

In Belgium if it is your first crime and you are sentenced to five years you only serve a third of the sentence.

[@RobbersIQ]

Come on is this true 🤩

[@xsenjhiro]

​@@RobbersIQYes it's true, and the maximum sentence is 33 years, the age at which Jesus died.

[@henrysantos121]

*Very cool documentary very well done*

[@andreiiuliandjandi]

Lucky the prison sentences were really small..Leonardo after 5 years got to spend his 20 mil share of the heist. The other 3 after 6 months. The 5th one never got caught, he was the true mastermind.

[@abdulawaljohn5623]

The fast one screwed them but the key master am sure he disposed his trash by himself as an extra measure

[@thesilentgeneration]

The mind-boggling lenient liberal justice system in Belgium is why no one should leave valuables there. Ever!

What a waste of talent. Ego mania no doubt. One gets the impression the team got away with it free and clear. Not so. There is a long term effect they choose to ignore. God is loving ALL the time. ALL the time God is loving. However part of that love is His justice. Unrepented theft of such magnitude puts a huge rejection stamp in their life history. I.E. they actively choose Hell instead of the loving God who wants them for Himself. The choice is theirs. The final exam is not a 'decision from God's judgment seat so much as it is from His finalizing for eternity the choices we have made in our life. I don't want any part of this teams choices ... short term or long term. But, maybe one or two of them might wake up and clean himself with the confessional. It's a stretch ... but possible.
