Crackdown on criminal groups selling stolen gold and jewellery
International cooperation was key to locating and arresting 19 members of several criminal groups active in France and Belgium involved in the theft and resale of jewellery, diamonds and precious metals. A joint investigation team (JIT) between authorities from both countries, set up with the support of Eurojust, enabled a nine-month investigation that led to several house searches and 19 arrests on 27 and 28 May 2026.
