A former employee of Picasso was convicted of stealing 271 pieces of work from the artist and hoarding them in his garage for 40 years.
After a decade-long legal battle filled with appeals, Pablo Picasso's electrician and his wife were convicted for theft of stolen goods after it was discovered they had 271 of Picasso's works hidden in their garage.
In 2010, Le Guennec traveled to Paris to ask Claude Picasso to authenticate the artwork. The son of the artist, who manages the Picasso Administration, deemed the work legitimate but suspected they were stolen. Three days later, police confiscated the collection. The Le Guennecs were first convicted of theft in 2015. That verdict was upheld by a higher court in 2016, then overturned by the Cour de Cassation—one of four courts of"last resort" in France—which ordered a retrial."It is a triumph of truth and marks the end of a cover-up," said Jean-Jacques Neuer, lawyer for Picasso's son Claude Ruiz-Picasso.
