荷兰艺术侦探亚瑟·布兰德周四对法新社表示，一件去年在荷兰失窃的来自罗马尼亚的无价2500年历史金头盔已被找回。
“太不可思议了，这是我们能得到的最好消息，”布兰德说道，他证实失踪的科托芬内什蒂头盔已被寻获。
检察官预计将于周四晚些时候发布官方公告。
一伙劫匪于2025年1月使用烟花炸弹闯入荷兰北部的德伦特博物馆，并在闯入后砸碎了展柜。
他们盗走了公元前5世纪的科托芬内什蒂金头盔以及三只金手镯。

此次失窃及对赃物的追查多次登上荷兰头条新闻，并在罗马尼亚引发公愤，这些文物在当地被视为国家宝藏。
“这是黑暗的一天，”德伦特博物馆总干事哈里·图潘当时说道，“在其170年的历史中，从未发生过如此重大的事件。”
荷兰政府已预留570万欧元（合650万美元）用于此次大胆失窃事件后的可能赔付。
“艺术界的印第安纳·琼斯”
被称为“艺术界的印第安纳·琼斯”的布兰德曾因高调追回多件失窃艺术品而登上全球头条。
2025年7月，他追回了一批价值不菲的15至19世纪失窃档案，其中包括来自世界第一家跨国公司的多项联合国教科文组织名录档案。
在此数月前，布兰德协助荷兰警方破获了一件50多年前从波兰博物馆神秘失踪的勃鲁盖尔画作案。
布兰德的其他功绩包括2023年将一幅文森特·梵高的画作归还博物馆，该画作失窃已超过三年。
2022年，他将一件1973年从沙蒂永地区博物馆失窃的古罗马雕像归还博物馆。他还追回了萨尔瓦多·达利的《青春期》、一幅毕加索画作，以及曾矗立在纳粹领导人柏林官邸外的雕塑作品《希特勒的马匹》。
2017年，这位艺术侦探告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他曾与恐怖组织、黑手党以及一众可疑人物进行交易，以便在黑市上追踪文物。
“一方面是警方、保险公司和收藏家，另一方面是罪犯、艺术窃贼和造假者，”布兰德说道，“这是两个截然不同的世界，彼此互不沟通。因此我充当了中间人。”
2,500-year-old golden helmet found over a year after it was stolen from Dutch museum, art detective says

A priceless gold 2,500-year-old helmet from Romania that was stolen last year in the Netherlands has been recovered, Dutch art detective Arthur Brand told AFP on Thursday.
“It’s amazing. It’s the best news we could have got,” said Brand, confirming that the lost Helmet of Cotofenesti had been found.
Prosecutors are expected to make an official announcement later on Thursday.
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 5th-century BC golden Helmet of Cotofenesti and three gold bracelets.

The theft and the search for the booty regularly makes headline news in the Netherlands and sparked outrage in Romania, where the items are considered national treasures.
“This is a dark day,” Harry Tupan, general director of the Drents Museum, said at the time. “In its 170-year existence, there has never been such a major incident.”
The Dutch government had set aside 5.7 million euros ($6.5 million) for a likely payout following the brazen theft.
“Indiana Jones of the Art World”
Brand, nicknamed the “Indiana Jones of the Art World”, has made headlines around the globe for his high-profile recoveries of stolen pieces of art.
In July 2025, he recovered a priceless trove of stolen documents from the 15th to the 19th century, including several UNESCO-listed archives from the world’s first multinational corporation.
A few months before that, Brand helped Dutch police crack the case of the mysterious disappearance of a Brueghel painting from a Polish museum over 50 years ago.
Brand’s other accomplishments include returning a Vincent van Gogh painting to a museum in 2023, more than three years after it was stolen.
In 2022, he returned a Roman statue that had been stolen from Musee du Pays Chatillonnais in 1973. He also recovered Salvador Dali’s “Adolescence,” a Picasso painting and “Hitler’s Horses,” sculptures that once stood outside the Nazi leader’s Berlin chancellery.
In 2017, the art detective told CBS News that he’s brokered deals with terrorist groups, the mafia and a slew of shady characters in order to track down pieces on the black market.
“On one hand you have the police, insurance companies, collectors, and on the other hand you have the criminals, the art thieves and the forgers,” Brand said. “So there are two different kind of worlds, and they do not communicate. So I put myself in the middle.”
