Two paintings by Vincent Van Gogh were recovered by anti-Mafia police in Naples last week, nearly 14 years after they were stolen from a museum in Amsterdam. Footage from the Italian Guardia di Finanza shows the discovery of the paintings after they were hidden in one of the houses of an international drug trafficker in Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples during a sting operation targeting organised crime. In 2002, the paintings were stolen from the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, after thieves used a ladder and sledgehammer to break into the building. The works were valued at €89 million, or about $100 million, at the time. The masterpieces - View of the Sea at Scheveningen (1882) and Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuene (1884) - were painted early in the artists's career.
Brazilian police officers leave the headquarters of Bolsonaro's Liberal Party with seized objects, one of the dozens of raids carried targeting suspects accused of orchestrating an invasion of the seat of power last year. The raids were authorized by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who also ordered that multiple suspects be suspended from public duties and surrender their passports within 24 hours. That included Bolsonaro, whose lawyer and adviser Fabio Wajngarten confirmed in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, that the far-right ex-army captain would comply with the order. IMAGES
