-We solved the case, but we couldn't recover the diamonds.
To this day, the gems1 stolen in the world's greatest ever diamond heist is still on the c*, a staggering hundred-million-dollar mystery. They may be sold in the shadowy corners of the international market, slipping back into the illegitimate supply chain. Perhaps finding their way onto the delicate fingers of proud brides-to-be, who have no idea that the gems on their glittering engagement rings were stolen in one of the world's most infamous2 robberies. Antwerp's diamond scouts3 couldn't find the diamonds, but they had found a trail of blood diamonds, leading back to Sierra Leone and Samulh Ossaily. Having survived his f* back to the war-wrecked state, he continued to buy blood diamonds from the safety of his hotel suite4 in the capital of neighboring Liberia. He brought more than 20 million dollars worth diamonds in just six months. Found by Antwerp diamond merchant D* N*, supporting vicious rebels who were killing5, mutilating, raping6, and terrorizing people in Sierra Leone. Curia will smuggle7 illicit8 diamonds back to Antwerp, and they were sold on the illegitimate market at huge profit. But Antwerp's diamond scouts arrested and interrogated9 six of his curia, suspecting that Samulh Ossaily and his accomplice10 D* N* were also dealing11 in weapons to pay for their blood diamonds. When the diamond sumggler ventured back to Belgium in April, 2002, police were waiting for him at the arrival's port.
-Ossaily and N* were charged for money laundrying, second of all, of course, dealing and conflating diamonds. They were buying goods that were under b* at that time.
Another indictment12 was for arms trading. As N* fled Belgium and returned to Lebanon, while Samulh Ossaily stayed to fight the weapon charge.
