dutch authorities suspect stolen dacian gold still intact 1234741905

Dutch authorities now believe that suspects in the January heist of Dacian gold artifacts from the Drents Museum in Assen hid the items after failing to sell them on the black market, raising hopes that the treasures—including the 5th-century Helmet of Coțofenești—may still be recovered intact. The gold, on loan from Romania’s National History Museum and insured for €30 million, was stolen in a nighttime raid. Three suspects are in custody, with two having their pre-trial detention extended by 90 days on charges of aggravated theft, property destruction, and causing an explosion. New searches in April led to two more detentions, and a full trial is expected in 2026.
