Dutch police have received more than twenty tips about the five suspects in the robbery at the TEFAF art fair, where valuable jewels were stolen in June 2022. Officers are now examining which tips are valuable and can be used in the investigation.
The Public Prosecution Service (OM) is offering a reward of €20,000 for the tip that leads to the arrest of one or more of the suspects. So far, nobody has been arrested for the robbery.
Last week the five were added to the European list of most wanted fugitives. All of them hold Serbian nationality. Four are men and one is a woman.
The suspects are Aleksandar Cenic (50), Aleksandar Stojiljkovic (50), Dusko Dimitrijevic (50), Bratislav Stojanovic (41) and Ninoslava Jovic (41).
Police say the five are probably staying in Niš or in the area around the Serbian capital, Belgrade. They hope the suspects can be arrested if they visit another country.
