Loot A Deal with the Devil: Hitler's Museum of Stolen Art
In 2012, the search of a Munich flat owned by elderly recluse, Cornelius Gurlitt, uncovers a stash of lost art linked to his father, the man known as Hitler's Art Dealer.
Tomb raiders, trafficking and blood treasure. Loot is a fascinating investigation into how the trade in stolen antiquities and art has become a major source of income for criminal syndicates, gangs, and terrorists across the globe. Using a different case study, each episode of Loot looks at how and why everybody from Islamic State to the Chinese Triad have muscled in on the act, and why international law enforcement agencies are determined to shut it down, but often powerless to act.
