A pre-investigation check is underway on the fact of the theft of a collection of Scythian gold, which belongs to four museums in Crimea. Alexander Molokhov, deputy head of the working group on international legal issues at the Permanent Mission of Crimea under the President of the Russian Federation, said this, according to TASS.

“The Investigative Committee (of Russia) is conducting a pre-investigation check into the theft of objects of special cultural value, known as Scythian gold. There are polls of those who are involved in the export of Scythian gold from the territory of Crimea, it turns out, and this is the main question, what was done to return it, were these measures enough, ”he said.

The collection of items – Scythian gold – was used to decorate the exhibition “Crimea: Gold and the Secrets of the Black Sea” at the Allard Pearson Museum in Amsterdam. An uncertain situation with it arose after the annexation of Crimea to Russia in March 2014.

At the end of October, the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam (Netherlands) ruled that the collection of Scythian gold should be transferred to Ukraine.
