The police of the Kiev region reported on suspicion of the organizer of the abduction of the drawing of the world-famous artist Banksy
On December 2, a group of people from Kyiv and Cherkassy dismantled a painting of a woman in a gas mask, which a British artist painted on the wall of a house destroyed by the Russian military in Gostomel.
The attackers with the help of wooden planks and polyethylene tried to transport this graffiti. Thanks to the indifference of citizens, police and other security forces managed to detain criminals.
During the pre-trial investigation, an art historical examination has already been conducted, according to the results of which the value of the “Gostomel graffiti” of the British artist was determined - more than 9 million hryvnias.
Investigators of the Buchansky Department of the Kyiv Police, according to the procedural guidance of the district prosecutor's office, reported the suspicion to the organizer in accordance with Part 5 of Art. 185 CCU (Theft). The defendant faces up to 12 years in prison.
