Previously, in an attempt to return money, the Noga company arrested the sailing ship Sedov, tried to seize Russian planes at Le Bourget, and even the bail of 5 million Swiss francs paid for the release of Pavel Borodin from a Swiss prison. These measures did not help achieve the goal. This time the company chose an object for trading that was more expensive than the previous ones. The insured value of the seized paintings by the world's most famous artists is about $1 billion.
