FBI Art Crime Team Leader Wittman Retires

Earlier this month I posted on the AW blog about the FBI Art Crime team and its leader Robert Wittman (click HERE to read the AW post). That post was based upon a recent Wall Street Journal article which documented some of the exploits of Special Agent Wittman working undercover to recover stolen art work.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported earlier this week that Wittman is now retired, and soon to join the Philadelphia area law firm of Fox Rothschild as a private art-security consultant. Wittman also plans to lecture, work with "galleries and individual collectors to recover stolen works, avoid fraudulent purchases, and learn prevention techniques."
