Recovered Murakami Ring Takes Strange Turn

March 24, 2011 by Marion Maneker

Black Book reports that Takashi Murakami’s company won’t press charges in the case of the ring found in a pawn shop years after it

Kaikai Kiki has elected not to press charges, despite the due diligence of pawn shop ownerAngel Parets and Miami Beach Police Department Detective Pete Rodriguez, who had a suspect in custody within 48 hours of the ring’s discovery. One would’ve thunk that Kaikai Kiki would be only to eager to prosecute; teach those crooks a hard lesson.
