Here come some spoilers!
The documentary recounts a heist so spectacular that it seems like it should be a Hollywood blockbuster. Despite sounding implausible, this is based on a true story known as ‘the heist of the century.’
In February 2003, a group of thieves called ‘The School of Turin’ accomplished what many thought impossible.
They breached a vault that was deemed impregnable, located in Antwerp’s diamond district, breaking into a secure vault two floors below the Antwerp Diamond Center.
Their haul included at least $100 million in loose diamonds, gold, and other valuables.
Wired reports that the vault was safeguarded by 10 security layers, including infrared heat detectors, a magnetic field, a seismic sensor, and a lock with 100 million possible combinations.
Despite these precautions, the thieves managed to bypass them, leaving experts puzzled.
The heist team accessed 109 out of 189 safety deposit boxes.
Leonardo Notarbartolo was arrested, having rented an office in the building, which granted him access to a safety deposit box. He was caught after returning to the office post-robbery, with his DNA matching evidence left by the burglars, such as a half-eaten sandwich.
Notarbartolo mentioned accomplices using nicknames like Speedy, The Monster, The Genius, and The King Of Keys, but only Pietro Tavano, Ferdinando Finotto, and Elio D’Onorio were identified; The King Of Keys remains unknown.
Notarbartolo received a ten-year sentence as the mastermind, while his accomplices got five years each.
Featuring exclusive interviews and insights, this documentary is a must-watch for true crime aficionados.
