Shafaq News/ The website of the English-language newspaper “The National” stated that the Iraqi authorities believed that they had found a painting by the international Spanish painter Pablo Picasso during an anti-drug raid in Diyala Governorate.

The report, which was translated by Shafak News Agency, explained; The painting, which if confirmed, could be worth millions of dollars, was found in the possession of three people who were arrested for their involvement in drug trafficking and transportation.

The report pointed out that the condition of the painting is not clear, and its size and the topic it deals with were not disclosed. 

However, the report indicated that the Iraqi Ministry of Interior said that the discovery of the painting came within the framework of continuous security operations since last July. A spokesman for the ministry said that “work is continuing and intense to curb drug trafficking, promotion and abuse.” 

The report added that it is not the first time that a painting believed to be by Picasso has been found in Iraq. In August 2009, the Iraqi police found a rare painting by the Spanish painter in the city of Hilla, believed to have been stolen during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. . 

This painting was titled “Naked Woman” marked with the word “Louvre” and included stamps from the Paris Louvre Museum.

The report stated; The use of famous artworks by prominent artists, as a barter for collateral, has become an increasingly lucrative avenue for organized crime syndicates to secure deals.

Among the most prominent of these incidents occurred in 1969 when the painting “Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio” was stolen from the church of San Lorenzo in the Italian city of Palermo by the Sicilian mafia “Cosa Nostra”, where the masterpiece is still lost until now. 

Since that time, many artworks by Vincent van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Edgar Degas and Edward Mannier have been burgled, with the aim of selling them on a closed black market, or for use as barter or collateral in Deals with other gangs of organized crime.
