Macbeath point inclusion conjecture

From papers

Let KRdK\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a compact convex set with non-empty interior, and let pp be its Macbeath point, namely the unique point in the interior of KK maximizing

vold(K(K+2p)).\operatorname{vol}_d\left(K\cap(-K+2p)\right).

Macbeath point conjecture. The inclusion

Kpd(Kp)K-p\subset -d(K-p)

holds. This is presented as an open problem related to volumetric Helly-type results. The uniqueness and existence of the Macbeath point are known from Macbeath's lemma, while the stated inclusion remains unresolved in the supplied text.
