Austrian authorities returned a Stradivari violin worth at least $2.7 million to its owner Wednesday, more than a week after it was stolen from a safe in the musician‘s apartment.
Police said the instrument could be worth up as much as $3.38 million and was recovered unscathed in Vienna on Tuesday. Several members of a Georgian gang have been arrested in connection with the robbery.
Antonio Giacomo Stradivari is considered the world‘s master builder of violins and other string instruments, crafting more than 1,000 of them in the 17th and 18th centuries.
