Massive Madrid art heist

Thieves in Madrid have stolen more than 20 famous works of art from the house of a Spanish businesswoman.

Among the paintings taken are two by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya The Donkey's Fall and The Swing, a painting by the French impressionist Camille Pisarro Eragny landscape, and one by the Dutch master Pieter Brueghel St Anthony's temptations.

The owner, Esther Koplowitz, is a major shareholder in Spain's biggest building company.
