Police "carried out, on Friday January 20 and Saturday January 21, 2017, a total of seven arrests in connection with the diamond theft at Schiphol airport in February 2005 and money laundering," the statement said.
The five male and two female suspects, all Dutch nationals, were arrested in Amsterdam and Valencia, in eastern Spain.
