4 Men Charged With Stealing $6,000,000 Golden Toilet From Winston Churchill’s Birthplace

Four men face charges related to the 2019 theft of an 18-carat gold toilet from Blenheim Palace in England, the birthplace of Winston Churchill.

The toilet is an artwork titled “America” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and valued at $5.95 million.  It was part of an exhibition at the palace near Oxford. The Crown Prosecution Service announced that the men, aged 35 to 39, are accused of burglary and conspiracy to transfer criminal property.

Seven individuals were initially arrested in connection with the heist, but this is the first time charges have been filed. The stolen artwork, which has not been recovered, was a fully functional toilet which exhibition visitors could use by booking a three-minute appointment
