Police have seized 77 properties from a notorious Lebanese criminal family living in Berlin as they are investigated over the theft of a £3.3million gold coin.

Officers provisionally seized apartments, houses and land across the city worth a total of £9million from the Remmo family on Thursday, accusing members of making the purchases with ill-gotten gains.

It comes a year after police arrested three family members on suspicion of stealing The Big Maple Leaf coin from Bode Museum, in Berlin, in March 2017.
