News – Munch Trial Ends in Oslo – Europe

And so, with very little ado, the Munch trial has come to an end in Oslo. Although the stolen paintings, ‘The Scream’ and ‘Madonna’ (left), have yet to be found, the six defendants, AKA the hatchback posse, are facing several years in the slammer. Down, down, down they go with sentences running between four and eleven years. As if their arrest and imminent imprisonment wasn’t enough punishment, the prosecution is also asking for a whacking great $114 million in damages… Who says crime doesn’t pay?
