Progreso Weekly • November 25, 2015

A Cuban man has been arrested in Greece and charged with the theft of 71 artworks from the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana in February 2014, with intent to sell.

The man, identified as Julio César Serrano Barreiro, 36, was arrested Monday (Nov. 23) in Koropi, Greece, southeast of Athens, by agents of the security division of the Department of Heritage and Antiquities of Attica.

The arrest came as a result of a worldwide Red Alert issued by Interpol, the international law enforcement agency, at the request of the Cuban government.

Serrano lived at the home of a 40-year-old Greek, reportedly his brother-in-law, who also was arrested on charges of illegal possession of a revolver and 55 rounds of ammunition.
