Overview
- Federal agents executed at least four new searches in Mar del Plata after images showed the Ghislandi portrait in a house tied to Friedrich Kadgien’s descendants.
- Judge Santiago Inchausti ordered a 48-hour secrecy measure over the case, and approved house arrest for Patricia Kadgien and her husband pending questioning.
- Defense attorney Carlos Murias says the painting was consigned to provincial civil court, a move prosecutors dispute while pursuing alleged encubrimiento.
- Investigators previously seized a carbine, a .32 revolver, reproductions and phones, but the original canvas has not been publicly recovered or displayed by authorities.
- Fiscal Carlos Martínez is coordinating with Interpol, Argentine customs and Dutch officials, who list the work from Jacques Goudstikker’s collection as wartime-stolen property.
