An investigation into a well-known artist’s forged paintings being sold in the U.S. and, in some cases, for $50,000 under their value.
CTS traced the art back to an art gallery and, acting undercover, purchased one of the pieces. We were able to identify dozens of other pieces that were also fake and the people behind the painting and selling of the fakes. CTS worked alongside the FBI, and three arrests were made related to the fraud scheme.
