“I am proud that this is the second repatriation we have had with Peru under my administration,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Many of the objects being repatriated today are from areas of Peru that have been repeatedly targeted by looters, but today we were able to undo some of the harm they have caused.”

“I am thrilled that, for the first time, we have been able to return a stolen artifact to the people of Paraguay,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank our team of prosecutors, investigators and analysts for unraveling this theft and returning this manuscript back to Paraguay’s National Archives.”

“I am pleased that we have been able to return more than 30 pieces to Cambodia in just the past several years. That is a testament to the outstanding work of our investigators and prosecutors, and I thank them for their continued efforts to dismantle these smuggling rings,” said District Attorney Bragg.

“I want to thank the prosecutors, investigators and analysts who helped return these extraordinary objects. We will not allow our borough to be a haven for looted and trafficked antiquities,” said District Attorney Bragg. 

“The people of Nepal have fought for the return of these prized antiquities for decades, and I am thrilled that our long-term investigation has resulted in the return of these objects. These trafficking networks are extensive and complex, but we will continue our work to dismantle them and undo the harm they have created,” said District Attorney Bragg.
