Earlier, prosecutors said attacks in other family -related properties appeared in other tracks that may have been stolen during the war.

D -Ja Kadgien and her husband were ordered to stay under house arrest for three days on Monday, local media reported. They were questioned to prevent the investigation into finding the picture, according to a court official, quoted in local media.

The couple was expected to face a hearing on Thursday, where he would probably be accused of “hiding the theft in the context of genocide,” the official added.

The couple insists that they are the legal owners of the work of art they inherited, according to the La Yajon newspaper in Argentina.

Mrs. Cadgien’s lawyer, Carlos Murias, told the local La Capital newspaper that the couple would cooperate with the authorities.

Four other properties were searched in the picture of the picture, the prosecutor’s office said.

During these searches, two paintings and a series of drawings and engravings from the 19th century were discovered at the home of the sister of G -Ja Kadgien, La Capital reports, and will be analyzed to determine if they were stolen during the war.

The picture first noticed an online, portrait of a lady, was among the collection of the Amsterdam Merchant Jacques Jacques, many of whom was forcibly sold by the Nazis after his death. It is indicated on an art database stolen by the NazisS

Peter Shuttin of the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad (AD), which violated the original story of the long -standing re -appearance of works of art, said there was evidence that “the picture had been removed shortly after or after media reports appear.”

“Now there is a big carpet with horses and some scenes of nature that hang there.

Some of the Goudtistikker -owned works were restored in Germany after the war and exhibited in Amsterdam as part of the Dutch national collection.

His only heir, daughter -in -law, Marey von Sacher, said her family “aims to return any work of art robbed by Jacques’ collection and restore his inheritance.”

According to AD, it conquered 202 pieces in 2006.
