In February 2012, on suspicion of tax evasion, German customs agents raided the Munich apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt. Inside, some 1,400 works of art were discovered. German authorities seized the artworks to determine their provenance, including possible connections to Nazi persecution. The story did not appear in the press until November 4, 2013. As of the date of this publication [sic], five works have been determined to have been of doubtful provenance and deserving restitution.
