Some wielded the guns, others hid the goods.

The courts will be tasked with determining the fate of 19 people who are set to face trial over their involvement in a $50 million diamond heist at Brussels Airport nearly three years ago, according to AFP, which cites the Belga news agency. The report says that nine have been charged with being directly involved in the theft, and the rest have been charged with hiding the diamonds. A trial date has not yet been scheduled.

As AFP describes the incident: “The February 2013 robbery, one of the world’s biggest diamond thefts, saw a gang of armed men posing as police seize the gems from a passenger plane in an operation that lasted barely 10 minutes without a shot being fired.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
