Van Gogh Theft News

The latest news on the theft of Vincent Van Gogh's Vase and Flowers, also known as Poppy Flowers, from the Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo is that an Egyptian court has found 11 culture ministry employees guilty of negligence and has sentenced them to three years in jail. This includes the museum's director and Deputy Culture Minister Mohsen Shalan. The court granted them bail pending an appeal. It's good that the incompetent fatcats in charge are carrying the can, but the stolen painting is still missing.
