According to the September 21, 2010 press release by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, two paintings appraised at more than $4 million were repatriated to Brazil. The paintings had once belonged to Mr. Ferrerira, and as part of the investigations into his case, the 6th Federal Criminal Court Specialized in Crimes Against the National Financial System and Money Laundering of Sao Paulo/SP also ordered the search, seizure and confiscation of assets that Mr. Ferrerira, his associates and members of his family acquired with unlawfully obtained funds from Banco Santos. The assets included the artwork which had been smuggled into the United States. In 2007, Sao Paulo sought INTERPOL's assistance, and INTERPOL and the Government of Brazil sought the assistance by the United States. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement located and seized the artworks, and in 2008, the U.S. filed the civil asset forfeiture complaint. Two artworks -- Liechtenstein's "Modern Painting with Yellow Interweave" and Joaquin Torres-Garcia's "Figures dans une structure" -- were forfeited to the U.S. on August 16, 2010 and July 16, 2010, respectively. Other artworks -- Jean Michel Basquiat's "Hannibal" valued at about $8 million and a sculpture known as the "Roman Togatus" -- have also been forfeited to the U.S.; an appeal of that decision is pending, as of November 2, 2011.
