"Members of the same extended family were convicted this year for a similarly spectacular heist, the theft of a 100-kilogram Canadian gold coin known as the Big Maple Leaf from Berlins Bode Museum in 2017.
The coin, with an estimated value of $4.45m, has not yet been recovered and authorities believe it was probably cut up into smaller pieces and sold.
Cousins Ahmed Remmo and Wissam Remmo, along with a friend who worked as a security guard at the museum, were all convicted of the crime and sentenced to several years in prison.
/.../
Wissam Remmo, who was not in custody while appealing against his sentence, was among those arrested on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was the first to be detained when special forces stopped his car at 3am. Two other family members, aged 23 and 26, were also arrested on suspicion of organised robbery and arson and all three appeared before a judge later in the day.
A few hours after the raids, police released mugshots of two other family members, twin brothers Abdul Majed Remmo, 21, and Mohamed Remmo, who are still wanted."
