The sparkly shoes were stolen in 2005 and remained missing for 13 years until the FBI recovered them in a sting operation. They are estimated to be worth around $3.5m (£2.75m).
A second man has been charged with stealing a pair of ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard Of Oz. The shoes were recovered by the FBI in a 2018 sting operation - 13 years after they were stolen from a museum in the late actress's hometown. Jerry Hal Saliterman, 76, was charged with 'theft of a major artwork' and witness tampering during a hearing at St Paul District Court in St Paul, Minnesota. He did not enter a plea.
He admitted to using a hammer to smash the glass of the museum's door and display case, in what his lawyer said was an attempt to pull off 'one last score' after turning away from a life of crime. Martin was sentenced in January to time served, meaning he was released and avoided further time in prison because of his poor health.
