An art dealer has been charged with stealing more than $1m worth of paintings from Hollywood star Robert De Niro – all painted by the actor’s late father.

Lawrence Salander, 60, is accused of ripping off De Niro as he sold artwork by the late Robert De Niro Sr.

Prosecutors say that the art dealer sold the De Niro works, but failed to tell the Goodfellas actor exactly how many of his father’s paintings were sold, and also failed to pay De Niro for “the majority of those sales”.

Salander was charged in March with ripping off more than $88m from clients, which included tennis legend John McEnroe.
