Dutch authorities showed off a recovered priceless gold 2,500-year-old helmet from Romania that was stolen last year during a brazen robbery in the Netherlands.
A spokesman for Dutch prosecutors unveiled the 5th-century BC golden Helmet of Cotofenesti and two of the three gold bracelets stolen in January 2025.
The theft sparked outrage in Romania and prompted a huge police search for the lost treasures.
A gang of robbers used firework bombs to break into the Drents Museum in the northern Netherlands in January 2025, and smashed display cases once inside.
They made off with the helmet and three gold bracelets.
The Dutch government had set aside €5.7 million for a likely payout following the brazen theft.
