TL;DR Summary

French narcotics officers in Ormesson-sur-Marne uncovered a stolen Picasso portrait of Marie‑Therèse Walter during a routine drug raid, with the work valued at up to €12–15m (£13m). A 37-year-old guard was arrested, and three more people were later charged after searches tied to a drug‑trafficking probe uncovered cannabis, cash and designer items; the painting was authenticated as an original and had been held in private storage for a Singaporean owner, with a trial expected in August.
