Jafurile din muzee devin violente: nou raport Europol privind tacticile de furt de bunuri culturale. Cazul Tezaurului Dacic

Europol's report highlights a shift in museum thefts in Europe, with criminals becoming more violent and targeting high-value items. The report notes that thieves are increasingly using tools like hammers and firearms to intimidate staff and gain access. Precious metals, gemstones, and culturally significant artifacts are now preferred targets due to their high demand in illegal markets. New profiles of criminals are emerging, including ad-hoc groups recruited via social media, contrasting with traditional networks that avoided violence. Europol emphasizes the importance of operational support in combating illegal trade in cultural goods.
