The matter is under investigation by the economic crime command of the Metropolitan Police.
The British Museum has announced items from its collection were found to be missing, stolen or damaged.
In July, the museum announced that Mr Fischer, a German art historian, would step down from his role next year. George Osborne, chairman of the British Museum, said: “The trustees of the British Museum were extremely concerned when we learnt earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen.
“Our priority is now threefold: first, to recover the stolen items; second, to find out what, if anything, could have been done to stop this; and third, to do whatever it takes, with investment in security and collection records, to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
