There were officials from the organized crime division of the Oslo police who found the lithograph, writes Aftenposten.
On Monday the man in Tonsberg arrested, while was Imran Saber arrested in Oslo , the man who earlier referred to as “Scrooge” and which was regarded as David Toska financial helper.
the hand-colored lithograph that was found Monday investigated by the police, who notes that it is true and intact, said in a news release Wednesday. The picture had a value of about two million when it was stolen.
Monday arrested police two men and charged them for roughly fraud of the picture. One is Imran Saber, also known by the nickname “Uncle Scrooge” or as Nokas-convicted David Toska “finance minister”. The second is the 55 years old man living in Tonsberg.

Yield
the Oslo District Court said it is likely that the 55-year-old from Tonsberg objectively has kept Munch lithograph, and that he must have realized that it concerned the proceeds of an offense. The court believes that it can damage the case investigation if the man placed in custody.
– The court believes there is real risk that the accused will destroy evidence in the case by influencing the testimony of others involved and witnesses, write tinngrettsdommer Dagfinn Grønvik .
the man is original from Grenland, and was over ten years ago sentenced to four years in prison and to pay four million in damages after an extensive invoice scam. Along with several others, he was convicted of having cheated themselves over 23 million. When confessed man more of the circumstances he was charged.
After his arrest Monday he got Ellen Holager Andenæs who defend, but she has not commented on the matter so far.
Art Trades
– My client denies culpability, saying Sabers lawyer, Øystein Storrvik, who met in court during the remand hearing on Wednesday.
during the remand hearing Wednesday he gave to drive purchase and sale of art and jewelery, but that he was unsure of both income and wealth. He has refused to be heard by the police and would rather not explain to the judge during the remand hearing. Saber also refused police to check the contents of his phone, it goes forward by the ruling from the Oslo District Court.
– The accused has been arrested in connection with the picture, and it is probable that he objectively has stored image. The Court finds it more likely that he understood that this was the proceeds of staffbar action, the court refers both to the image, the circumstances surrounding the handover and to the environment in question, writes District Court judge in the ruling.
It is under one month ago Saber was sentenced to eighteen years in prison and confiscation of three million crowns for aggravated fraud of 3.3 million. He is a former convicted a number of times.
