A Berlin neighborhood was overrun with 1,638 officers and special forces personnel in a pre-dawn raid on 20 apartments and a number of vehicles and other venues. German police were in search of the 18th-century jewels taken a year ago from the Green Vault museum in Dresden. Newser reports three German men in their 20s with links to organized crime were arrested. But, alas, the stolen art treasures failed to be found. Members of the same Remmo 'Lebanese mafia' family were convicted in early 2020 for theft. They stole a 220-pound Canadian gold coin worth $4.45 million from a Berlin museum in 2017; it has not been found. Authorities fear for the jewels' fate.

This lush expanse of Amazon rainforest, close to the Yasuni Nature Reserve, will be home to an oil drilling operation from Ecuador's state oil company Petroamazonas for the first time ever, which seeks to tap into the large Tiputini oil field. Ecuadorian Vice-President Jorge Glas was present to inaugurate the drilling of the oil reserve, the biggest in the Andean country. The Tiputini field is expected to produce 1.67 billion barrels per year. After years of debate, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa's government gave state-owned oil company Petroamazonas the green light to drill in the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) block, just outside of the Yasuni nature reserve. Environmental activists had called for a referendum on the decision but this was denied by the Correa government. The decision has been met with criticism from indigenous-rights and environmental groups.
