Six Indicted In Scream Theft

Six indictments have been handed down by Norwegian prosecutors in the August 2004 theft of Edvard Munch’s masterpieces, The Scream and Madonna, from an Oslo museum. “Three of those indicted are already in police custody. Five of the suspects are charged with aggravated robbery tied to organized crime, which could result in prison terms of up to 17 years. The sixth is charged with fencing, because he allegedly helped store the stolen paintings. Neither has been recovered.”
