Cops nab 13th Verona heist suspect

(ANSA) - Verona, May 5 - Police have arrested one of two remaining fugitives suspected of heisting 17 Renaissance paintings from Verona's Castelvecchio Museum last year, sources said Friday.
    Moldovan national Anatolie Burlac is accused of being part of the gang that broke in to the museum on November 19, making off with paintings worth an estimated 15 million euros overall. Burlac was nabbed on a European arrest warrant while attempting to cross into Romania from Moldova.
    One suspect remains at large, police said.
    The gang made off with 17 paintings, including Andrea Mantegna's Holy Family with a Saint, Pisanello's Madonna of the Quail, Peter Paul Rubens' Lady with Campions, and six Tintorettos, museum officials said.
    In March this year, the Verona flying squad arrested 12 Moldovan and Italian suspects.
    Investigators believe private security guard Francesco Silvestri, who was on duty at the museum on the night of the heist, Silvestri's twin brother Pasquale and the latter's Moldovan wife Svetlana Pkachuck acted as go-betweens for the robbers.
    The Carabinieri art squad is trying to track the paintings down.
