The trial promises to be a fascinating glimpse into the world of high-stakes art theft.
The prosecution is expected to present evidence detailing the planning and execution of the theft, while the defense will likely argue for the innocence of their clients. The outcome of the trial remains to be seen, but the case has already become a symbol of both wealth and vulnerability.
