In February 2003, a gang of Italian thieves pulled off what would be called the Heist of the Century, slipping into Antwerp’s Diamond District, bypassing six layers of security, and walking out with more than $100 million in gems, gold, and cash. No alarms. No witnesses. No fingerprints.
But behind the perfection lay a single fatal mistake that brought the mastermind, Leonardo Notarbartolo, undone.
This is the incredible true story of the world’s most sophisticated vault robbery and how ego, routine, and a half-eaten sandwich ended it all.
