11/02/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Monday, 10 February, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) announced that a joint investigation team (JIT) had been set up between the Dutch and Romanian judicial and law enforcement authorities. This initiative has arisen from the theft of four historic Romanian works of art from the Drents Museum in the Netherlands on 25 January. The Golden Helmet of Coțofenești and three antique gold bracelets—all exhibited on loan from the National History Museum of Romania—were stolen. At present, three suspects have been arrested and are still in custody. The JIT will strengthen cooperation and will enable the relevant authorities to exchange information more quickly. In this matter, the role of Eurojust—which organised a coordination meeting on its premises to discuss the judicial follow-up for the cultural theft and to enable cooperation among the investigators involved—is, furthermore, to provide operational, logistical, and legal assistance.
