A diamond ring.
Two years ago, 6 million euros worth of jewelry once owned by Argentinian firth lady Eva Perón were stolen from Valencia, Spain. Today, those jewels were recovered by the police in Milan, Italy. Among the jewels stolen was the diamond tiara presented to Eva Perón “Evita” by the King of Holland during the 1950s, which is valued at 4 million euros by itself. The jewels were found in a luxury hotel where the robber was registered under a false name.
According to the Italian press, the robbery was preformed by a band of seven Serbians, who saw the collection of jewels in an exhibition in Valencia in the Fall of 2009. The robbers contacted the jewelers in charge of the exhibition, paid them an amount of money, and then took the jewels. Throughout the past 2 years, the investigation has been continuous. A few supposed culprits have been caught previous to today’s actions, but it wasn’t until today that the jewels themselves were recovered.
The jewels that were stolen were purportedly a pair of diamond earrings, two diamond rings, and the diamond tiara, all of which are said to be recovered now. Eva Perón was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her untimely death at the age of 33 on 1952. The love the Argentinian people had for Eva Perón as she inspired the people during her combat with cancer is the inspiration of the Broadway musical Evita.
