Romania - Art theft trial delayed
Print Edition
A Bucharest court on Tuesday adjourned the trial of six Romanians charged with a spectacular theft from a Dutch museum, including masterpieces by Monet, Picasso and Gauguin that are now feared to have been burned.
After opening proceedings, the court president postponed the trial to September 10 to allow time for legal issues to be examined, including bail requests.
It took less than three minutes for the thieves to take seven works by some of the world’s most famous artists from the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam in the pre-dawn heist in October.
Among the paintings carried away were Picasso’s “Tete d’Arlequin” and Monet’s “Waterloo Bridge.”
