«The walls of this room packed with works that do not have any artistic merit" - sadly told us Omar Figueroa, in charge of property confiscated NDBN. He said that despite this hudozhestvepnnuyu zero value, the works will be exhibited at public auction.

According NDBN, about 70%of expropriated works of art are already confirmed fake, while 30%are currently undergoing examination.

Omar Figueroa describes, without naming the artist, the work of Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali, which NDBN confiscated after smetri a "drug dealer". "So, this work proved to be completely false!" - Sadly he concludes.

Each expropriated picture is transmitted to the National Museum of Colombia in Bogota on the examination. After analyzing fakes vozvrpschayutsya NDBN the room, and original works remain at the museum for further exposure.

However, "to determine the authenticity of the paintings are not easy" - explains the museum, who wished to remain anonymous.

"That's what happened with Rubens painting that was confiscated from Hernando Gomez Bustamente (drug dealer, was arrested and extradited to Cuba, first to Colombia and then in the U.S.): it passes expertise. In principle, ought to invite an expert in Flemish schools, but we have no money "- continues to Omar Figueroa -" We strongly doubt that the Rubens may be true, but we have no way to verify. We can only wait, maybe something will happen. "

Nevertheless NDBN going to organize this year's big auction, hoping to gain from sales of 136 million dollars - in the arts such initiatives have never seen!

Over the last two years of police professionals to combat the drug trade "has already sold the property for 63 million dollars" - tells the representative NDBN, stating that all those exposed on the sale of cars, airplanes, boats and motorcycles willingly sold out, despite its criminal origin - apparently , the fact that they belonged to the criminals, it is not worried about customers.
"We tolkro saw to it that this property is not returned to their former owners by buying their bogus officials" - concludes Omar Figueroa.
