With unique access to UK and foreign intelligence and investigative resources, including specialist police units, the National Crime agency (NCA), Interpol and The F.B.I. Art Crime Unit, UK Intelligence has unparalleled means to trace or recover stolen artwork.
Upon instruction from private collectors, courts, lawyers, insurance companies and art recovery agents, we dig deeper than any commercial organisation in this discreet international service.
Investigations are highly confidential and do not leave a digital footprint.
Recover stolen artwork
Connections that count
If required we work directly with The F.B.I. Art Crime Unit and Interpol, the latter having the most extensive art theft investigation facilities globally.
Interpol’s own database of stolen works of art combines descriptions and photographs of more than 50,000 items. It is the only database at an international level with certified police information on stolen and missing objects of art.
Accessing official art theft databases
Countries send information to Interpol regarding stolen artwork and their experts add precise credentials to their database.
In accordance with strict data processing rules, only information provided by authorised entities (such as National Central Bureaus and specific international partner organisations including UNESCO, ICOM and ICCROM) can be inserted into the database.
Via a uniquely positioned intelligence source, we have formal access to register data with Interpol.
We have worked on and successfully executed highly complex multi-jurisdictional cases requiring pinpoint precision and absolute discretion for governments, corporate and legal entities and HNWIs across all continents.
