The trial of the Romanian gang accused of stealing the Kunsthal pictures has been halted again. It turns out that the original owners of the works, the 'Triton Foundation' has already taken $24m in insurance money, and so the title to the works has passed to the insurers. According to the Romanian court documents, however, Triton are the injured party. All very odd. More here in the New York Times.
