The culprit, a Frenchman, has been found and charged with fraud and forgery. This discovery comes ten years after police in Spain confiscated approximately 10,000 faked Dali artworks. What makes this discovery particularly noteworthy is that up to twelve of the artworks, which include paintings, lithographs, and sculptures may be genuine; also, inauthentic certificates of authenticity were found.
