Operation Dora Maar seizes suspected Picasso, Rubens and Rembrandt forgeries
Bavarian police reported raids in three countries on 15 October in an investigation into attempted organised art fraud. Twenty suspected forgeries were seized. A copy of Rembrandt's De Staalmeesters had allegedly been offered for 120 million Swiss francs, although the original is in the Rijksmuseum. Eleven people were under investigation; expert examinations were continuing, and no conviction was announced.
