When you’re rich theft is OK
As I understand it, the Italians messed up the paperwork to reclaim it. The UK police were left unable to proceed with confiscation. The new UK owner bought painting in good faith and had nothing to do with the theft. The theft happened around 50 years ago, so thief is likely dead by now.
New owner willing to sell back to Italians at full price. Italians want it free or cheap which would leave new owner out of pocket.
UK law is on the new owners side.
Based we should keep all we find
