Wronki. She sold her husband’s paintings without his consent. She heard the allegations

The incident happened last week. – Police officers from the Police Station in Wronki received a notification about the appropriation of paintings. Their author was the victim himself, and his wife was suspected of appropriating them, who had no right to dispose of these items – explains Sandra Chuda, the press officer of the Poviat Police Headquarters in Szamotuły.

At least 30 paintings worth about PLN 50,000 were allegedly looted. In addition, the woman was also to unlawfully use the man’s payment card.

– After collecting the first evidence in the case, the police detained a 42-year-old woman suspected of appropriation. The officers also detained a 43-year-old fence, at whose place of residence they secured 13 paintings from a crime. The police also determined that the man sold some of the works to an art gallery in Szczecin – explains Chuda.

Thanks to the cooperation with the local officers, it was also possible to secure the works that were located in Szczecin.

The suspects were questioned and charged. – The 43-year-old is suspected of appropriation of paintings and burglary. Such a legal qualification is adopted when someone else’s payment card is used, informs Chuda.

The proceedings in this case are pending. The court will decide on the sentence for the suspects.
