Spanish museum can keep Nazi-looted art, judge rulesA federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that a Spanish museum that acquired a priceless, Nazi-looted painting in 1992 is the work's rightful owner, and not the survivors of the Jewish woman who surrendered it 80 years ago to escape the Holocaust.

I thought by law all things recovered had to be returned to the owners, or surviving family members.
