The mystery of a painting allegedly stolen by a Nazi official who took it to Argentina has taken a new turn. On Tuesday, the judiciary put the official’s daughter and her husband under house arrest for 72 hours on suspicion that they are hiding the artwork.

The couple lives in a house in the Buenos Aires province coastal city of Mar del Plata, where the painting appears to have been located after a photo of it was posted on a real estate website. Authorities have raided the house, but did not find the artwork........
