The toilet, valued at 4.8 million pounds ($5.95 million), was an artwork titled 'America' and intended as a pointed satire about excessive wealth by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan. It was part of an art installation at Blenheim Palace, near the city of Oxford, a few days before it vanished overnight in September 2019. The Crown Prosecution Service said Monday it has authorised criminal charges against four men, ages 35-39, over the theft. They are accused of burglary and conspiracy to transfer criminal property.
