Pink Panthers: The Ghosts Who Stole a Fortune in Diamonds

In under 60 seconds, one man walked out of a Cannes hotel with €103 million in diamonds — and vanished forever. This is the true story of the Pink Panthers, the most successful jewel thieves who ever lived. Born from the wars of the former Yugoslavia, this faceless network of ex-soldiers and fearless women robbed over 120 stores across 20 countries — Tokyo, Dubai, Paris, London, Cannes — stealing more than half a billion dollars in gems. They drove cars through shopping malls, escaped by speedboat across the Mediterranean, broke their own men out of prison with assault rifles, and made the diamonds disappear without a trace. Most have never been recovered. Many of the thieves were never caught.
