A Picasso worth over $37 million that was seized from a yacht off the French island of Corsica has been transferred to a Madrid museum.

The painting, which was subject to a Spanish export ban, had been seized by French customs at the end of July.

On Tuesday, a team of Spanish police experts in national heritage flew to Corsica to retrieve the painting, and escorted it to the Reina Sofia Museum, which houses Pablo Picasso's large anti-war masterpiece Guernica, a police statement said.
