| Subject: Sick statist fuck: Armed art heist ordered by FBI chief Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:40 am | |
| As far as art heists go, it had all the hallmarks of a conventional robbery.
A gunman held up the gallery reception desk while thieves in overalls and ski masks unhooked four paintings, stuffed them into black bin bags and made off in a getaway van.
But the multi-million-dollar theft, in which a Monet, Sisley and two works by Brueghel were taken from a French gallery, was ordered by the FBI's art crimes chief, it has been claimed. Advertisement: Story continues below
Robert K Wittman, then an FBI special agent and chief of its Art Crimes Team, is accused of using "amateurish stooges" to carry out the theft so he could use the stolen paintings to infiltrate a gang that led a previous unsolved art heist.
Seven men go on trial on Monday for the Nice theft. They face maximum sentences of 30 years in jail for armed robbery if found guilty at the end of the week-long trial in Aix-en-Provence. But the alleged leader of the thieves, Pierre Noel-Dumarais, then 60, claims they were talked into it by Mr Wittman.
