Nazi-looted art: German collector says he owns pictures.

The German owner of more than 1,400 art works, many believed to have been stolen by the Nazis, says he will not give them up voluntarily.

Cornelius Gurlitt, who inherited the hoard, told Der Spiegel magazine the paintings were "acquired legally".

Investigations are continuing to establish who the original owners might be.

German prosecutors have said they do not have "any strong suspicion of a crime that would justify an arrest".
