Dealer Accused of Selling Fake Miro Prints
Pasquale Iannetti, 69, was indicted Thursday by a grand jury in San Francisco on charges of wire and mail fraud for shipping prints purportedly authorized by Miro, the renowned Spanish Catalan painter and sculptor who died in 1983.
He was indicted on eight counts of mail fraud for allegedly shipping fake Miro prints to customers across the country from 2001 to 2008. He was also indicted on seven counts of wire fraud for credit-card transactions at his gallery or wire transfers in amounts ranging from $3,600 to $17,902, the indictment said.
