German officials may soon return some artworks to recluse
None
German prosecutors investigating a huge art trove found in Munich are planning to return works to collector Cornelius Gurlitt once it is confirmed the artworks belonged to him and were not stolen by the Nazis.
Augsburg prosecutor Reinhard Nemetz said in a statement Tuesday that he asked a newly established government task force to identify the owners of the more than 1,400 works as soon as possible and return to Gurlitt those pieces that belong to him without a doubt. (AP)
