		</div><p>Seven people have been arrested by Spanish police on suspicion of involvement in stealing five paintings by Irish-born painter Francis Bacon worth €25m (£19m).</p>
<p>The artworks&#8217; owner reported the theft of the paintings and other valuables to the police in July last year, but none of the artworks have yet been recovered.</p>
<p>Investigators in February received information from a British firm which had been asked to verify the provenance of some art.</p>
<p>Photographs of Bacon canvases were included for assessment and these led to the arrest of the suspects.</p>
<p>Bacon often visited Madrid, where he spent time studying Old Master paintings in the Prado Museum, and died there in 1992 at the age of 82.</p>
<p>A statement issued on Saturday did not say when the arrests were made, and the investigation is continuing.</p>
