From Miró to Andy Warhol, via Chagall, Picasso, and Bansky. The carabinieri of the Artistic Heritage Protection Unit confiscated 2,100 fraudulent pieces that were ready to be sold. A trade "that would have caused economic damage of 200 million euros", according to a note issued by Eurojust, the EU Agency for Judicial Cooperation. A total of 38 individuals are currently under investigation for the illicit marketing and falsification of contemporary art. The first suspicions were raised by the very cheap prices of artwork worth millions of euros. Kandinsky, Klee, and Mondrian had each been estimated at 4,000 euros. The inquiry, led by the Pisa prosecutor's office, revealed that the counterfeiters also operated in Spain, France, and Belgium. Once the fraudulent artworks were created, the network collaborated with various accomplice auction houses in Italy to sell them. The first stage was the confiscation of 200 masterpieces, including Amedeo Modigliani's "Caryatid" painting. The work was backed by highly specialized laboratories and a well-organized distribution organization.
