The Netherlands is paying for millions after spectacular artificial trust Drents Museum

The Romanian Ministry of Culture confirms the payment to RTV Drenthe. Because the documents were on loan, the Netherlands is fully liable. The scheme with which the government guarantees damage or theft during foreign loans must enable museums to exhibit expensive masterpieces without paying towering insurance premiums.

It is about the highest benefit ever by the state under this so -called warranty scheme. Until now, the counter got stuck on a meager 8000 euros. Since the introduction in 1989, the government guaranteed dozens of billions in art, but never before did the damage rise so high.

The golden helmet and bracelets were part of an exhibition about the Dacians, a people who lived in Romania two thousand years ago. In total, the loan collection was worth more than 30 million euros.

The Netherlands took on 9 million of that risk, which meant that the Drents Museum had to pay around 25 to 30 percent less insurance premium.

Three suspects stuck for Art Roof Drents Museum Assen

Three suspects are stuck for the robbery. The Public Prosecution Service wants to recover the millions from them. “In view of the size of the amount, that may mean that they are very firmly in debt throughout their lives,” the public prosecutor said during a hearing. A fourth suspect is being prosecuted for stealing license plates for the flight car.

The golden helmet alone was insured for 4.3 million euros. The three bracelets together represented a value of 1.4 million. If the loot still comes to the surface, the Dutch state can get some of the millions back.
