WORLD : $17 Million in Stolen Art Found
Investigators today recovered the $17 million in artworks stolen from Pablo Picasso’s granddaughter, finding them at the home of a restaurateur, who was then arrested, police said.
The restaurateur, who lives in nearby Pradet, was not identified. Two other men--both security guards at Marina Picasso’s villa in Cannes--also have been arrested in the theft, which occurred Sunday, police said.
One of the guards, Serge Clouzeau, was on vacation when the robbery occurred; the other, Daniel Jaguin, had gone shopping for a loaf of bread. Marina Picasso was not home at the time.
