A German
court on Wednesday sentenced a bank manager who masterminded an armed robbery
in his own branch in Hanover and stole 367,500 Euros ($411,700) to three years
and five months in prison.
The 32-year-old was found guilty
of planning the robbery with an accomplice, who entered to bank in June 2016
with a gas pistol and a fake hand grenade.
He, however, forced another
employee to open a safe containing the cash.
The accomplice, also aged 32, was
sentenced to three years and 10 months imprisonment.
Prosecutors had pushed for longer
prison sentences, but the court argued that the fact that the men did not have
criminal records and their admission to carrying out the crime counted in their
favour.
Though investigators found
evidence that the bank manager acquired two sports cars worth 70,000 Euros in
the wake of the incident, most of the 367,500 Euros stolen in the robbery have
not been recovered.
