A PICASSO worth over 25 million euros (S$39 million) that was seized from a yacht off the French island of Corsica was transferred to a Madrid museum on Tuesday. The painting, which was subject to a Spanish export ban, had been seized by French Customs at the end of July.
On Tuesday, a team of Spanish police experts in national heritage flew to Corsica to retrieve the painting, and escorted it to the Reina Sofia Museum, which houses Picasso's large anti-war masterpiece Guernica, a police statement said. They were accompanied by an art restorer and an expert in packaging art works from the museum.
