Two priceless Van Goghs
stolen from Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum in December 2002 were
among the assets recovered from a drug-trafficking clan in the
Neapolitan Camorra mafia Friday. Some of the gang who stole the
Van Goghs and other paintings were nabbed a year later but the
haul was never found. Assets worth tens of millions of euros
were seized from the Camorra group. Premier Matteo Renzi
congratulated Italian police on the operation and spoke about
the paintings' recovery with Dutch Premier Mark Rutte as they
both attended the funeral Friday of Israeli statesman Shimon
Peres.
