US Returns 10 Artifacts To Egypt

The United States has returned ten artifacts to Egypt. The returned artifacts were valued at $1.4 million.

 

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the items were recovered amid an investigation into the "Dib-Simonian" trafficking network, and said the return of the items "to the people of Egypt" would be facilitated after a repatriation ceremony with Ambassador Howaida Essam, the Consul General of Egypt in New York.

 

 

 

Ambassador Howaida Essam said, "I am confident that our future cooperation will result in the repatriation of other national treasures that have been illegally smuggled out of Egypt."
