Paris art heist: sentences and disputed destruction claim
AP reported that on 20 February 2017 Vjeran Tomic received eight years in prison, Jean-Michel Corvez seven and Yonathan Birn six. The men were jointly ordered to pay €104 million for the loss. Birn said he discarded the canvases for fear of detection. His co-defendants doubted the claim, and destruction was not established. Tomic was arrested in 2011. A November 2026 review did not verify recovery.
