Serbian war crimes fugitive Goran Hadzic may be trying to finance his life in hiding through the sale of art, including an Amedeo Modigliani painting worth millions of dollars, prosecutors said.

Police today found about 50 paintings, including a photo of a Modigliani oil painting, as they searched the home of one of Hadzic’s friends for evidence that may lead to the fugitive, who is wanted by the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal, the office of Serbia’s war crimes prosecutor said in an e-mailed statement.
