The famous antiques dealer Jean Lupu will not be tried this Monday, February 12 by the Paris Criminal Court. His wife Monique, 92, will appear this Monday without her partner for having been an accomplice in this lucrative trade in fake furniture.
The great-nephew of the renowned merchant, aged 52, is also being prosecuted for the same facts, the prosecution told us. The affair shook up the art market, which was hit hard as well as the discreet circle of antique furniture collectors.
