Fighting for the return of the Nazi art-lootado
The Argentine Police is investigating the daughter Yy the son -in Recently seen in a property ad Before disappearing quickly.
The painting, which is believed to be “portrait of a lady” of the Italian Baroque artist Giuseppe Ghislandi (1655-1743), was recognized by the announcement of the Dutch newspaper in a photo of a house for sale in the Argentine marine complex of Mar del Plata.
The authenticity of the art work cannot be confirmed until it recovers, but it is believed that it was stolen from the Amsterdam Jacques Goudstikker art merchant during Second World War. Goudstikker died while fleeing from the Netherlands in 1940 when the country was invaded by Nazi Germany.
The sale notice for sale revealed what is believed to be Ghislandi’s painting in Friedrich Kadgien’s house, a financial advisor to Adolf Hitler’s right man and an art fan who looted paintings taken from Jewish property galleries In Europe occupied by the Nazis, according to News. Kadgien later fled to Argentina, along with other Nazi war criminals. He died in 1978.

Interpol and the Argentine Federal Police are involved in the search for the work of art.
After the article was published, the image was removed from the Real Estate List. When the Argentine police entered the house last week, they found a tapestry of a horse hung in the place that the painting had been in the photos, AP reported. Four real estate searches held on Monday, at Kadgien’s house and three other residences linked to the family, failed to give up the work of art, AP said.
Kadgien’s daughter, identified by AP as Patricia Kadgien, was put under house arrest together with her husband, Juan Carlos Cortagoso, said the prosecutor in the case on Tuesday. They will appear in the Court that are accused in relation to the disappearance of the painting.
Carlos Murias, a lawyer from Kadgien’s daughter, told a local newspaper in Mar de Plata that the couple would cooperate with the authorities, through prosecutors, said Tuesday that the work of art has not been delivered.

The newspaper La Nacion of Argentina reported that the couple said they had inherited the work of art and that they were their legitimate owners.
The prosecutor said that the investigators who carry out the search had seized two other works of art of the house of another Kadgien daughter that seemed to be 1800.
“The works will be analyzed to determine whether they are linked to the stolen paintings during World War II,” the office added.
Goudstikker, a principal teacher of the teachers of the 16th and dietary centuries, left a extensive art collection From more than 1,000 paintings when he fled.
The senior German officials, led by the founder of Gestapo, Hermann Goering, divided their collection.
After the war, the Dutch state recovered about 300 works, most of which were returned to the heirs of Goudstikker.
In 2011, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles returned a Dutch painting of the seventeenth century of the Goudstikker collection.
Many other works remain scattered throughout the world.
The heirs of Goudstikker are determined to recover the painting, which appears in an international registry of missing works of art.
