Drenthe was world news last week. The artok in the Drents Museum kept the minds busy both at home and abroad. But was more than just art news in Drenthe.
The reactions in Romania to the art robbery were critical. For example, a reporter from the Romanian Pro TV asked why the important Romanian heritage is lent to a city like Assen.
The director of the Romanian National History Museum, Ernest Oberländer-Târnoveanu, also came under fire. On Tuesday he was fired by the Romanian art minister. Jok had traveled to Assen before his resignation.
On Wednesday, three suspects were arrested for involvement in the art robbery in Assen. It concerns three people from Heerhugowaard. Earlier in the day, the police shared a photo of a suspicious man in a hardware store in Assen. This man has not yet been arrested.
More than just the art robbery this week happened. Defense has again postponed the decision about the arrival of fighter jets to Eelde and the expansion of training grounds. State Secretary Tuinman has informed the House of Representatives that he needs more time for a careful process. That means that the environment is even longer in the dark.
A destructive report on the role of the police in the drama in Weiteveen. Richard K. murdered his neighbors Ineke and Sam here last year. In the run -up to the murder, both camps rang the bell with the police several times. The police go through the dust in the report and acknowledges that things should have been better. Such as taking the weapons of the suspect earlier.
