Boston Museum loud suspects dead Automatic translate

BOSTON. The FBI believes that two men who, posing as police officers, robbed the $ 500 million Boston Museum of Art in 1990, are dead.

Two years ago, the FBI announced that it knew who had stolen 13 works, including paintings by Rembrandt and Vermeer. Then the details were not disclosed in the interests of the case - the investigators tried to return the stolen objects of art.

The empty frames from which the thieves carved Rembrandt’s Storm on the Sea of ​​Galilee and Vermeer’s Concerto still remain on display at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.

Peter Kowenhoven, Assistant Special Agent for the FBI, explained why there was such a delay and why then no one was detained - the suspects are dead.

“The focus of the investigation over the years has been the question of who committed the robbery? We have done a great job over the years and are now confident that both robbers are already dead, ”Covenhoven told the Associated Press. He refused to give specific names.

Last Thursday, authorities again called on the public to help find stolen paintings. For information that will help find Rembrandt and Vermeer, a reward of 5 million US dollars has been announced.
