Master art forger swaps sides

Tony Tetro made millions of dollars as a prolific art forger but it all came crashing down when he was arrested and jailed for four years

.

Now he's using his expertise to help identify art fraud and he's in Australia for a forum on the issue.

Mr Tetro told the conference that up to fifteen per cent of art sold may not be genuine.

"I obviously don't want to name names but there are quite a lot of fakes out there and it's something we do have to watch out for." Mr Tetro said.
