“I thank our team for their commitment to dismantling this trafficking network, which continues to yield the return of priceless artifacts to countries all around the world,” said District Attorney Bragg.

“We continue to recover and return antiquities that were trafficked by Robin Symes,” said District Attorney Bragg. “That is a testament to the hard work of attorneys, analysts and investigators who are committed to undoing the significant damage traffickers have caused to our worldwide cultural heritage.” 

“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.
