A Modigliani painting allegedly looted by Nazis during World War II has been sequestered in Geneva after the Panama Papers leak uncovered the identity of its current owner, authorities said Monday.
"A criminal procedure has been opened within the framework of the revelations linked to the Panama Papers," Henri Della Casa, spokesman for Geneva judicial authorities, told AFP.
He added that a disputed painting by Italian artist Amadeo Modigliani "was sequestered late last week", meaning it is not allowed to be moved from its current location.
