Dogaru Radu, the Romanian known worldwide for stealing seven of the most valuable paintings by famous painters in just three minutes, admitted that he led the action. In October 2012, he and Eugen Darie stole seven famous paintings from a museum in the Netherlands.
The two men were sentenced to six years and eight months in prison. With them was tried Olga Dogaru, too, who allegedly burned the paintings to hide the evidence against her son. At first she has admitted the charges, but later changed her statements.
Experts have examined the ashes from the stove in the woman’s house and have determined that it contained chemicals commonly used in paintings during the 19th and 20th century.
The paintings stolen by the two Romanians were: Claude Monet's 1901 "Waterloo Bridge" and "Charing Cross Bridge", Pablo Picasso's 1971 "Harlequin Head", Henri Matisse's 1919 "Reading Girl in White and Yellow", Lucian Freud's 2002 "Woman with Eyes Closed“, Paul Gauguin's 1898 "Girl in Front of Open Window" and Meyer de Haan's 1890 "Self-Portrait".
