CNN —Some 750 looted archaeological treasures have been seized from the notorious British antiquities trader Robin Symes and returned to Italy after a decades-long fight for their return, the Carabinieri art police said on Wednesday.
Some of the antiquities returned to Italy from London are seen on display at Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.
The 750 repatriated items were seized from the disgraced British art dealer Robin Symes.
He was often investigated but never charged for his alleged crimes despite countless attempts by Italy and Greece.
The return of these 750 objects marks another success in Italy’s attempt to recover its stolen treasures.
