Man convicted of £40m Graff jewellery heist


A man who held a "petrified" shop assistant at gunpoint during Britain's biggest jewellery robbery last summer was convicted for his part in the £40m raid. The £40m of jewellery stolen from Graff Diamonds in London has never been recovered. Aman Kassaye, 25, was found guilty at Woolwich crown court, London, of kidnap, conspiracy to rob and possessing a firearm. He was acquitted of another gun possession charge. Kassaye was found guilty on the ninth day of the jury's deliberations. The jury is still considering verdicts on six other people who deny charges relating to the robbery.

I am glad to hear that at least one of them is convicted, now I hope that the other six will be convicted soon as well. Even though there are denying having anything to do with it, I still think that all seven of them are indeed guilty and hopefully the jury will see this as well. I am very curious though what happened with the stolen £40m of jewellery and where it is. I hope this will get found very soon, because £40m is a lot of money. I am also wondering how many years he had to behind bars, I hope a lot.
