RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 11 — Brazilian authorities arrested a late art collector’s daughter Wednesday for allegedly orchestrating a scam in which a supposed psychic moved into her octogenarian mother’s home and stole millions, police and media reports said.
The 16 paintings stolen by the woman and five alleged accomplices — three of whom were also arrested — included works by Brazilian masters Tarsila do Amaral and Emiliano Di Cavalcanti, local media reports said. Her mother, Boghici’s widow and heir to his collection, was allegedly tricked into believing her daughter was sick, and then persuaded to hire a woman with supposed healing powers to administer a “spiritual treatment,” according to news site G1.
