Thomas Trotta was sentenced to eight years in prison for being the main burglar in a major art theft operation that spanned two decades. He is the fourth of nine individuals prosecuted for stealing numerous artworks, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock. Trotta pleaded guilty and was also a government witness against his co-conspirators. The stolen art included valuable paintings and antique items, many of which were destroyed or sold for lower value. Recent developments suggest some missing artworks may still be located in Newark, New Jersey.
"Trotta, serving eight years for his role in the theft of major artworks, was sentenced alongside a scheme that spanned two decades and involved significant pieces, including those of Warhol and Pollock."
"After a lengthy investigation, the location of the stolen Warhol and Pollock pieces is now believed to be in Newark, New Jersey, despite years of fear they had been destroyed."
