compare the jewellery with the priceless jewellery we have at the National

Museum. So it’s obvious to ask how such jewellery ended up with the director of
Germany's largest dairy corporation - the third largest in the world.”

She takes a short break before continuing.

“These jewels can only have ended up in Germany as treasures of war, stolen by
the Nazis' great plunder of the Winter Palace during the Second World War. They

jewels should have been returned to Russia a long time ago. The Germans have

been the main sponsors for rebuilding a replica of the Chamber of Amber in the
Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, and it’s from this particular place that some of

the most expensive artefacts we’ve known were stolen. When it comes to these
goods of such calibre and such high value, there is only one cartel in the world

that could have something to do with it - and that’s what we know as the Thule

Cartel.
Johan, the Dane we would like to speak to, was doing jobs for Kräsen when he

suddenly disappeared. That was essentially the last thing he did before he went

missing, which is why it’s very important for the German intelligence to get the
Danish on board with the investigation. They want to know about this man and

his whereabouts, and eventually bring him down.”
Helle is still taking notes while they others all nod in agreement.

“It makes perfect sense that’s he’s the guy, and it seems absolutely grotesque

that we haven’t been able to find and bring him in for all this time. Of course, the
Thule Cartel has something to do with this, and of course Johan is involved. The

question is just which way. "

“It's really typical. Why do we always end up with these messy cases?” Karin
looks up from her notes and fixes her glasses.
