They posed as visitors: the daytime heist in Vienna that was worth a 3.5 million diamond necklace

Historic piece was purchased for an Egyptian queen, but changed hands after a family squabble

In Vienna, Austria, a daytime heist occurred where criminals posed as visitors to steal a valuable diamond necklace. The robbery, carried out boldly during the daytime period, resulted in the theft of a piece valued at 3.5 million euros.

The stolen diamond necklace has a remarkable history. It is a historic piece that was originally purchased for an Egyptian queen, demonstrating the importance and exceptional value of this jewel over the years.

After being acquired for the Egyptian queen, the necklace changed hands due to a family squabble. This dispute within the family was responsible for transferring ownership of the historic piece, which ultimately became the target of the heist in Vienna.

The value of 3.5 million euros makes this robbery one of the most significant involving valuable jewels, combining the audacity of the method used by the robbers with the historical importance of the stolen piece.
