SpainEuropol issued a warning at the beginning of the week about an increase in museum robberies across Europe, noting that criminals are becoming more aggressive and violent, targeting valuable items like gold, jewelry, precious stones, and antique Chinese porcelain. This alert reached the Museum of Villena (MUVI) one day after the theft of the Treasure of Villena. According to sources from the Valencian Culture Council, three emails titled 'Europol Information' were sent by the Generalitat’s Museum Service to the MUVI inbox between 2 PM and 2:05 PM on August 28, just one day after the robbery. The Spanish Ministry of Culture shared the Europol alert with autonomous communities on Friday at 1:18 PM, instructing them to distribute the information to all museums. However, prior to this, the Generalitat had no knowledge of the Europol warning. The report highlights that these crimes are increasingly violent, possibly involving new criminal networks, and that stolen items are often melted down or resold illegally due to their high value and ease of disposal.
