On Sunday morning, when the security guard of Cairo’s art museum opened the doors, he thought it was going to be just another quiet day.

When he got to the hall he was shocked to find an empty frame, where the $50 Million dollars worth Van Gogh “Poppy Flowers” painting was displayed.

Now one of the main characters in this movie-like plot is no other than the Egyptian deputy culture minister Mohsen Shalaan.

The police investigation discovered that only seven of the 43 surveillance cameras spread around the Mahmoud Khalil museum were working, and the alarm system was not working either.

Now the prosecution claims that the deputy minister, who holds an office in the museum, has neglected his duties when he did not fix the broken alarms and cameras.

This is not the first time this painting has been stolen from the Egyptian museum.

In 1978 the painting was stolen, and Authorities recovered it two years later at an undisclosed location in Kuwait.

The Egyptian police is still on the hunt for the “Poppy Flowers”.
