Two London brothers ‘should be banned from Switzerland for five years’ after museum heist

Prosecutors have called for two Londoners to be banned from Switzerland for five years for their role in the theft of Chinese Ming Dynasty artefacts from a museum. Marco Rossier called for the punishment to be inflicted on top of four-year jail sentences for Stewart and Louis Ahearne, at the Palais de Justice in Geneva, on Monday.

The brothers, aged 43 and 33, will hear their sentences on Tuesday, after they confessed to being part of a plot to steal from The Baur Foundation Museum of Far Eastern Art in June 2019.
