Christopher Marinello, founder of Art Recovery International, stated that thanks to information from informants, they were able to recover stolen works of art worth millions. He spoke about this in an interview with France 24.
France 24 describes Marinello as an experienced lawyer, the founder of Art Recovery International, and one of the world’s leading experts on the recovery of stolen, illegally exported, and missing works of art.
The interview focused, in particular, on the reopening of the Apollo Gallery at the Louvre in Paris. The gallery reopened nine months after one of the most daring museum heists in recent memory.
France 24 noted that this incident raises questions about the balance between public access to cultural heritage and the vulnerability of museums in the face of increasingly sophisticated organized crime.
