Lipinski Stradivarius Robbery Mastermind Changes Plea to 'Guilty'

Salah Salahadyn, the man accused of masterminding the January 27th theft of the 1715 'Lipinski' Stradivarius, from Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Frank Almond, has pleaded 'guilty' to robbery in a Milwaukee County Court.

Salahadyn, 42 had previously indicated he would contest all charges.

The accused was immediately taken into custody - and could face more than 15 years incarceration when sentenced on November 10th.

In July this year, Universal K. Allah was sentenced to 3 ½ years imprisonment for 'robbery as party to a crime' - for his involvement and the supply of the taser used in the attack.

In 2000, Salahadyn pleaded 'guilty' to attempting to resell a stolen $25,000 statue to an art gallery owner.
