A German court on Tuesday sentenced five men for stealing 18th century jewelry worth more than 100m euros from a museum in the town of Dresden in 2019.

They were sentenced to prison terms of four years and four months and six years and three months, German news agency dpa reported. A defendant was acquitted.

The state court of Dresden ruled that five men between the ages of 24 and 29 were responsible for the theft of the German city's Green Vacul Museum on November 25, 2019, and the theft of 21 jewelry containing more than 4,300 diamonds, worth a total of at least 113.8 million euros.

Officials said at the time that the jewelry taken included a large diamond skull and a diamond - made epic (a paper placed on its shoulders in military uniform).

They have been convicted of bodily injuries, armed theft, property damage, and deliberately firing.

The men lit a fire to cut power supplies to street lights outside the museum and also set a car on fire in a nearby garage before leaving for Berlin.

They were caught several months later in the raid in Berlin.

In January, there was an agreement on admitting guilt between the defence, prosecution and court after most stolen jewelry were returned.

The plea agreement was agreed on by four defendants who later admitted their involvement in the crime through their lawyers.

The German state of Saxony, where Dresden is located, had demanded compensation of nearly 89m euros in court for the damaged parts of the museum building, for those still missing, and for the repairs of the destroyed window and other damage to the museum building.

Green Vacul is one of the oldest museums in the world. It was founded in 1723 and contains the treasure of the Hard Augustus of Saxony, which includes about 4,000 gold objects, precious stones, and other materials.
