All kinds of great finds!
I don’t want to turn your thread @ColonelZ but scroll all the way down to the bottom of article and find this: Spain Seizes Ancient Gold Jewellery Stolen from Ukraine Worth $64 Million
Under the picture, the caption says a Russian stole it, then, at the end of article, it says,
“Three Spanish and two Ukrainian nationals were arrested as part of the investigation, which began in 2021, after one of the pieces - a gold belt with rams’ heads - was sold in a private sale in Madrid.”
