French police 'stumble upon 13m stolen Picasso painting during drug raid'
French drug police made a stunning discovery during a routine narcotics raid in Paris, stumbling upon a stolen Picasso painting worth up to €15m (£13m).
Officers in the Brigade des Stupéfiants discovered the artwork on 15 June while carrying out a routine search of a house owned by the aunt of a suspected drug dealer in the southeastern suburb of Ormesson-sur-Marne.
The artwork has not been publicly named by France's Alliance Police Nationale, who said it as worth "tens of millions" of Euros. French newspaper Le Parisien reported that it is one of a series of Picasso's portraits of Marie-Thérèse Walter, his mistress, produced in 1937 – with a value between €12m and €15m.
A 37-year-old man who worked as a guard at a Paris firm that stores valuable art was arrested after the discovery.
