From the couple they took a recognizance not to leave and took the passport.
The investigation finds out whether they prevented the search for the picture “Portrait of the Lady” of the XVIII century.
The portrait of Countess Colonos (1743) of the work of the Italian artist Giuseppe Gislandi was considered lost for 80 years.
Dutch journalists reported a picture to the police when, during an investigation into Kadgen’s connections with Argentina, she noticed her openly hanging in the living room in the photo.
The “portrait of the lady” was stolen from the Jewish collector of works of the art of Jacques Gudstikker in Amsterdam back in 1940, NYP emphasized. Cadgen took out a picture to South America after he escaped from Europe at the end of World War II.
The Argentine police searched the villa, but it was not possible to find the picture right away. It is alleged that the couple replaced it with a tapestry.
The lawyer Kadgen and her husband later passed the picture to law enforcement officers. The Gudstikker family appealed to the court and the police with a request to return the “portrait of the lady” to them.
