Investigation Continues into G. Tsangarakis' Paintings - TikTok Post Leads to Inquiry over 1745 Gospel

Checks on the hundreds of paintings found at art dealer Giorgos Tsangarakis' premises are ongoing, while he is facing charges of violating the 'Antiquities Law'. The case primarily concerns the possession and potential sale of a 1745 Gospel, which was not declared to the authorities. Mr. Tsangarakis claims he was unaware of the law and that the Gospel came from an inheritance from his parents. His company states that the paintings are mostly a personal collection or had been submitted for authenticity checks. The investigation began after citizen complaints following the publication of a video featuring the Gospel on TikTok.
