Leonardo Notarbartolo, Belgian investigators, Diamond Centre tenants and the English writers who named the School of Turin.
The public names are a convicted tenant, a Belgian police file and later English authors.
Many tenants who lost boxes never became household names; their inventories are the silent centre of the scale score.
Convicted tenant and lead public defendant
An Italian who rented office space in the Diamond Centre. Belgian courts treated him as a central figure and sent him to prison. Later interviews disputed official estimates. He is the name English readers remember.
Co-defendants, some in absentia
Men later grouped in English as the School of Turin were convicted in Belgian proceedings. Several were not in the dock. Their sentences did not come with a table of recovered stones.
Owners of the emptied boxes
Small firms and dealers whose loose goods made up the haul. Because the vault was multi-tenant, the loss was a cloud of inventories, which is why the $100 million figure stays an estimate.
Lead investigators
Belgian federal police worked the vault scene and the Brussels-woods discard that tied paper and tape to a tenant. Their file, not magazine reconstructions, is the official investigative spine.
Trial court
The Antwerp proceedings produced the convictions that keep this dossier from being labelled unsolved. They could not produce the diamonds.
English-language chroniclers
Authors of Flawless (2010), the book that, with Wired, fixed the School of Turin story for English readers. Their work is secondary literature, used here for public narrative, not as a method text.
Court and press named a crew. The tenants named missing stock. Only the first list was closed.
Public-record encyclopedia. Not legal advice. Not a how-to. Graphic detail is withheld. Wars belong in a separate atlas.
