Digital Desk: As many as four individuals have been charged for involvement in the daring theft of an 18-carat gold toilet from Blenheim Palace. The bathroom was a component of an art installation when it was stolen in 2019. This exquisite dresser, called "America," was designed by the well-known Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan and is estimated to be worth an astounding 4.8 million pounds (about ₹ 50 crore). A significant historical location is Blenheim Palace, which is home to Winston Churchill, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) declared that it had authorized the filing of criminal proceedings against four people. On November 28, these four men are expected to appear at Oxford Magistrates' Court.
The golden toilet was first put on display in 2016 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, where guests could use it while a security guard watched from outside, according to The Sky News. Additionally, the museum once made it available to US President Donald Trump, who used it to hang golden drapes in the White House upon his move.
Questions have been raised concerning the audacity and reasons behind the theft of this valuable and unconventional art piece.
Blenheim Palace CEO Dominic Hare expressed his aim to immortalize the work through the "pointless" act of stealing in an interview with The Guardian. That the elite object made available to everyone and the word "portraying the American dream" were "instantly snatched away and hidden from view" struck him as particularly ironic.
