The grand theft was carried out by Frédéric Munchenbach, who as a handyman had his own keys to the neighboring houses in Paris of Sylvie Baltazart-Eon, daughter of art dealer Aimé Maeght, and Catherine Hutin-Blay, daughter of Picasso’s second wife Jacqueline Roque.
The investigation also revealed new information about the running of the gallery, including transactions that weren’t always recorded or appeared to have vanished, payments made in cash, and the use of an offshore company affiliated with an anonymous bank account in Switzerland.
