CTS investigated the sale of a well-known artist’s forged paintings in the U.S., in some cases for under $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 fake pieces as well as the individuals behind the painting and selling of the forged pieces. CTS worked alongside the FBI, which made three arrests related to the fraud scheme.
