Suspications that the order for the theft of the Dacian treasure in the Museum “came from Romania” / What the sources quoted by an RTL post in the Netherlands say

It is possible that the Order for the theft of the Cotofenesti helmet in the Dutch Museum Dides has come from the Romanian interloping world, holds an investigation of the RTL Nieuws. A police track assumes that the client wanted to use the valuable golden helmet and bracelets as a negotiation material to keep a Romanian offender away from prison, says RTL Nieuws, who spoke with sources from the criminal world and close to the police investigation.

A band of forbidden motorcyclists, known as Hardliners, is involved in the theft of the Romanian treasure exhibited in the Drents Museum in Assen, the Netherlands.

The band members recruited people who participated in the break, told RTL Nieuws sources from the criminal environment and around the police investigation.

Moreover, according to these sources, the theft of art was ordered by the interloping world in Romania.

Specifically, the valuable art pieces, including Cotofenesti's golden helmet, were stolen as a negotiation material so that a Romanian offender could escape a prison sentence, reports well informed sources.

This suggests that the 2,500 -year -old helmet can be intact.

“The indications accumulate that the helmet was not melted,” said a source close to the police investigation. It is likely that the helmet is still in the Netherlands.

“It is probably somewhere near Heerhugowaard, wrapped in a towel,” he said.

How was theft set up

With the help of a handmade bomb, the thieves forced, on the night of January 24 to 25, a door of the Museum DIDENTS, where the Dacian treasure in Romania was exposed.

In four minutes, the thieves broke two windows and left with the helmet from Coțofenesti and three gold bracelets, with a total insurance value of 5.8 million euros.

Remarkable detail: During the robbery, the criminals escaped the helmet once, said a source for RTL News.

The police immediately put everything in order to recover the Romanian heritage. In this regard, the investigation was focused on the city of Heerhugowaard in the Northern Netherlands and its surroundings, writes the RTL.

The police conducted there searches in homes and warehouses and retained seven suspects, including Douglas W. (36 years), Bernhard Z. (35 years old) and Jan B. (20 years).

In the case of Jan B., the police launched another undercover operation before his arrest. The agents were given as representatives of some foreign buyers of the Romanian helmet.

They offered 400,000 euros, an amount that B. would have refused. When the operation proved to be failed, B. was still detained.

These men would have been recruited with the help of hardline motorcycle band, well informed sources report.

The police also have other tracks in the investigation, but “it is looking more and more at the variant of a Romanian client”

“They were promised 15,000 euros per person,” says a source from the criminal circuit. One of the suspects would be a prospectus, an aspirant to membership, Hardliners.

Independent sources also told RTL Nieuws that the Order for Art Furrencies would have come from Romania.

Specifically, he writes the site of the television, the Dacian treasure would have been stolen at the order of an important offender who is trying to escape a prison sentence.

This person wanted to return the helmet and bracelets in exchange for reducing or canceling his punishment.

RTL News did not find out which offender would be involved.

Although the police keep other investigative tracks open, “they are looking more and more at a Romanian customer,” says a source close to the investigation.
