The Kyiv Pechersky District Court has seized the museum exhibits of the "Crimea - the golden island in the Black Sea" exhibition, which are in the Allard Pierson Museum (the Netherlands), submitted documents to Interpol to put the seized property on the international wanted list.

According to the press service of the Crimean prosecutor's office, the agency is conducting a pretrial investigation within criminal proceedings on the fact of the Allard Pierson Museum's refusal the return of the exhibit items, which are the property of Ukraine.

"At the request of the prosecutor, the Kyiv Pechersky District Court by its ruling seized the museum exhibits. The resolution was sent to Interpol with a view to ensuring the international search of the seized property," the report says.

As reported, the exhibition entitled "Crimea - the golden island in the Black Sea" at the Allard Pierson Museum was formed from the collections of five museums, one of them in Kyiv and the other four in Crimea. Since the Netherlands have not recognized Crimea's reunification with Russia, which took place after the exhibition opened, a question arose as to whom the collection should be returned to.
