F.B.I.'s Art Crime Team
In 2004, the F.B.I. established a rapid deployment Art Crime Team dedicated to solving art crimes. The team is composed of 14 special agents, each responsible for addressing art and cultural property crime cases in an assigned geographic region. The Art Crime Team is coordinated through the FBI’s Art Theft Program, located at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Art Crime Team agents receive specialized training in art and cultural property investigations including art history, art production,
detection, and retrieval and assist in art related investigations worldwide in cooperation with foreign law enforcement officials and FBI legal attaché offices. The U.S. Department of Justice has assigned three special trial attorneys to the Art Crime Team for prosecutive support.
Since its inception, the Art Crime Team has recovered more than 2,650 items valued at over $150 million.

Your job is to join an ACT Squad Task Force and help solve this case.
It’s like stealing history.
Art and cultural property crime—which includes theft, fraud, looting, and trafficking across state and international lines—is a
looming criminal enterprise with estimated losses in the billions of dollars annually.
To recover these precious pieces—and to bring these criminals to justice—the FBI has dedicated the Art Crime Team's efforts to creating Art Squad Task Forces to aid in the investigation. It runs the National Stolen Art File, a computerized index of reported stolen art and cultural properties for the use of law enforcement agencies across the world.
In connection to this case, you will have access to classified investigation files. Use these files to track down leads, question suspects, and put together the pieces of an over two-decades old case. Solve the mystery, bring in the missing artworks, and close the case!
