Museum Employee's Art Swap Funds Lavish Lifestyle

A German museum employee stole a painting from the Deutsches Museum in Munich, replaced it with a fake, and sold the original to fund a luxurious lifestyle, including purchasing a Rolls Royce and expensive wristwatches. He also stole three other artworks and successfully sold two of them. The man received a 21-month suspended sentence and was ordered to pay back the museum over 60,600 euros. The museum is making efforts to recover the stolen paintings.
