Ancient golden helmet recovered more than a year after Dutch heist
AI Summary
A 2,500-year-old golden helmet and two bracelets, stolen from the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands, over a year ago, have been recovered. The artifacts, on loan from Romania's national history museum as part of an exhibition about ancient Dacia, were stolen in a raid. The recovery follows negotiations with lawyers for the three suspects arrested in connection with the theft, who will face trial later this month. While the helmet was slightly damaged, the bracelets were in perfect condition. The theft caused outrage in Romania and a dispute between the Romanian and Dutch governments. Authorities are still searching for the third missing bracelet.
