A stolen canvas by world-famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso has been found and confiscated in Turkey, the Turkish newspaper Radikal reported. After a month of police operations in Balikesir town, the Turkish law enforcers arrested citizen Z G, 41, who held the canvas. The canvas worth $10 million was reportedly stolen from the Kuwait museum in 1991 during the Gulf War.

This is the second/third Picasso, allegedly stolen from the Kuwait Museum to turn up. The first one was recovered in Iraq a couple of years ago and that supposedly turned out to be a fake.
