D.A. Bragg Announces Prison Sentences For Robbery And Drugging Conspiracy Click For More

“Julio Ramirez and John Umberger were beloved by their friends and family and had incredibly bright futures ahead of them,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Yet their lives were cut short by these defendants, who displayed a wanton disregard towards their victims. They left both men to die as they used their financial accounts to purchase clothes and sneakers, never once showing concern about the deadly consequences of their actions. We will never be able to undo the tragic losses of Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Umberger, but I hope these significant prison sentences can provide some closure to their loved ones.”

Manhattan District Attorney’s Office returns eight artefacts to Peru, including golden Moche mask Click For More

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is returning eight trafficked artefacts to Peruvian authorities. A majority of the objects in question originate from Peru’s North Coast, a heavily looted area rich with pre-Columbian tombs and relics from the Moche civilisation, a non-monolithic group that specialised in the production of gold and ceramics from 100AD to 800AD. Many of these relics were absorbed into international looting networks and funneled into institutions in the United States with falsified provenances.
