The New York Times has reported that two van Gogh paintings that
were stolen from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2002 have been
recovered in Italy.
According to the article, the paintings were recovered as part
of an ongoing investigation into organized crime by Italian
authorities. Specifically the Italian authorities were
investigating the Amato Pagano clan of the Camorra Mafia family,
which is allegedly associated with international cocaine
trafficking.
The works in question, "Seascape at Scheveningen"
(1882) and "Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in
Nuenen" (1884/85), were apparently stolen by burglars who
climbed to the roof of the museum using a ladder, and then left
through side of the building using a rope.
