While there is no reason to suspect Molyneux of knowingly buying looted art, at least some of the paintings came from a Paris dealer named Paul Petrides, who actively collaborated with Nazi art looters, according to U.S. Army files. In a letter dated December 1977, Petrides described Molyneux as "a faithful client who bought a lot of paintings from me." (In addition to his tainted dealings with the Nazis, Petrides also owned a perfectly legitimate Paris gallery.) (English)
