But unfortunately that is not why. While it sounds like a Hollywood story where Robin Hood will share the wealth at the expense of a horrible and amoral corporation, the reality is inevitably very different. Organised criminal groups across Europe are often involved across different types of criminal activity, including human trafficking and drug smuggling. The cost of an operation such as this is huge (pay offs, equipment, information), and they would have inevitably funding this through other crimes. The diamonds were being transported and the liability for the loss will fall with the carrier and their insurers. Don't think that this is a good news story; the individual victims of these criminal groups will be suffering more than the balance sheets of the diamond and security companies involved.
