Lawyer gets 10 years for £20 million in stolen art

This is an interesting article to me because it makes me stop and think about the motives behind people's crimes. Especially, in a case such as this where the property stolen is art because it seems to defeat the purpose and take away from the idea of expression and the appreciation of art to the masses.

In summary:
A 72 year old lawyer was arrested in the case of £20 million worth of stolent art. The accused man, Robert Mardirosian, acknowledged that he had the stolen paintings in his home in Massachusetts. "Civil action has been initiated in the USA, UK and elsewhere to recover all of the legal and investigation costs of $3 million plus which were incurred by Mr. Bakwin over 28 years of recovery efforts." The attorneys on the case state that anyone who steals any type of art will be held responsible for not only the art itself, but the lawyer's fees.
