Пять лет за обман мира искусства

47-летний художник из Болтона был приговорен к пяти годам тюремного заключения. В суде Боб Харрис 1. признался, что виновен. Однако судья сэр Тоби Наклз 2. сказал, что Харрис должен быть наказан. Он 3. добавил, что Харрис растратил свои большие таланты на обман вместо того, чтобы зарабатывать честным трудом.

Навыки Харриса, безусловно, были впечатляющими. Его подделки варьировались от фальшивых древнеримских скульптур до копий шедевров современного пейзажа. Совет Болтона, например, согласился заплатить Харрису 400 000 фунтов стерлингов за фальшивую египетскую статую. Сегодня Нед Бангл, купивший статую для Совета, 4. признал, что ему следовало быть осторожнее. Однако адвокаты 5. сообщили суду, что Бангл был не единственным, кого обманули фальшивки.

Художник, родившийся в Болтоне, 6. заявил, что унаследовал «шедевры» от своих бабушки и дедушки. Он надеялся продать поддельный портрет Лондонской галерее Тейт, но эксперт понял, что он не был подлинным. Когда полиция 7. спросила его, знал ли он, что работы были подделками, Харрис отказался что-либо признавать. Судья Наклз 8. предупредил галереи не поддаваться на обман таких художников, как Харрис, в будущем.
