The arrest followed ajoint investigation with Italian police that lasted more than a month.
One of the suspects allegedly belonged to the"Pink Panther" criminal gang and in 2011 also allegedly stole jewelry worth millions of euros during an exhibition in Basel, so he was also wanted by Switzerland.
A fifth suspect was instead stopped at the border between Croatia and Serbia.
