Police get a surprise during raid on Nazi heiress's home

Police in Argentina raided the home of Patricia Kadgien, daughter of a notorious Nazi art thief, in search of a stolen masterpiece, only to discover it had been replaced by a tapestry. The painting, 'Portrait of a Lady' by Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi, was originally owned by Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker and was looted during World War Two. Its recent appearance in a real estate listing reignited efforts to recover the artwork, but investigators found it missing when they arrived. The case highlights the ongoing struggle to reclaim art stolen during the Holocaust, with Goudstikker's heirs vowing to pursue legal action to restore his legacy.
