“A Romanian man who has admitted to stealing masterpieces by Gauguin, Monet and Picasso on Tuesday threatened to sue the Dutch museum he took them from for making his robbery too easy. Radu Dogaru is among six Romanians on trial for last year’s spectacular three-minute heist from the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam which stunned the art world. Despite their 18-million-euro estimated value, none of the paintings that belonged to the Triton Foundation was equipped with an alarm, Dutch authorities said. The lawyer explained that, if found guilty of negligence, the Kunsthal ‘would have to share the burden of compensation’ with his client, who faces millions in claims from insurers.”
