Episode 44: The Art Detective And James Bond’s Aston Martin

He’s the art detective who hunts stolen masterpieces and who re-unites works of art with their rightful owners years after they have been looted.

From lost works by artists like Picasso or Warhol to flash designer watches worth more than €100,000, Chris Marinello of Art Recovery International has brought home more than half a billion dollars worth of missing goods over his three decades in the business.

Today, he tells me about his incredible career negotiating with a heady mix of rogue collectors, Nazi thieves and organised criminals looking to wash their dirty money.

We talk daring heists, missing classics and the hunt for James Bond’s Aston Martin.
