Romanian Criminals Orchestrated Dutch Museum Heist: Dacian Gold Helmet Stolen

A valuable Dacian gold helmet, a significant piece of Romanian cultural heritage, was stolen from a museum in the Netherlands in January. Dutch authorities announced that the theft was orchestrated by a group linked to organized crime in Romania. The investigation revealed that the criminals used inside information and sophisticated methods to carry out the heist. "Nothing can prepare you for this," said a source close to the investigation, highlighting the audacity of the crime. The recovery of the helmet remains a priority for law enforcement in both countries, and the incident underscores the vulnerability of museums to organized crime.
