Investigators have seized 27 ancient works of art worth $ 13 million from the Metropolitan Museum in New York in the past six months, purchased by the prestigious museum to show the glory of ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt, but believed to be the result of looting.
Of these 21 are Italian, for an estimated value of 10 million dollars, while six are Egyptian (3.2 million).
The New York Times reports it.
They will be returned to their countries of origin with a ceremony scheduled for next week.
