They are still looking for the loot and the prime suspect, the 55-year-old
Yehuda Mishali. Mishali carried out the theft in March from a bank where he had rented a safety deposit box under a false name taken from a stolen passport in Israel. He carefully planned the heist by visiting the bank every day for a year. The accomplice arrested last week had been traveling for thousands of miles through Germany and the Netherlands in the second half of March and early April before he was arrested. It is believed the diamonds will be difficult to sell on world markets since many of the gems cannot be sold without certificates of origin to show they have not come illegally from war zones. In 2003, in the world's largest safe-deposit box theft, thieves in Antwerp pried open 123 boxes, finding so much loot they could only carry away $100 million worth of diamonds, gold and jewelry. ``The investigation is being conducted rigorously and will continue,'' the
prosecutor's office said in the statement. ``All information regarding these two
suspects, including their activities, former and present whereabouts are of
interest to the investigators.' More than half the world's diamonds are traded in Antwerp's gem district, a maze of tiny streets hugging the main train station. Its turnover of $23 billion a year makes it one of the densest concentrations of valuables on earth. Antwerp is known as the world's diamond capital. It is the leading trading center for rough diamonds with about 70% of the global production passing through its 1500 specialized firms. related abn amro stolen diamonds

Last month, a man broke into open safety deposit boxes in an ABM Amro bank in
Antwerp's diamond district and stole 120,000 karats of diamonds. The suspect had
been a regular customer at the bank for the past year, and provided the name of
an Argentinian. Authorities believe that the suspect was using a false identity
since it was discovered that a passport in the same name was stolen in Israel
several years ago.
