German art dealer stole more than £1m to fund ‘lavish’ lifestyle

Gulbenkian has admitted to fraudulently selling an 81kg (179lb) spotted yellow pumpkin by the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama

Art dealer Angela Gulbenkian, 37, leaving Southwark Crown Court in London, in 2019. She has since been remanded in custody.

An art dealer who stole more than £1m (€1.18m) spent the money on maintaining a “lavish” lifestyle for her and her husband – including hiring a private jet, a court has heard.

German socialite Angela Gulbenkian, 39, appeared in Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, July 28, where she pleaded guilty earlier this month to two counts of theft totalling £1,111,484 (€1,306,723).
