Pompeii - Casa dell Orso Ferito - Bear Mosaic | Hundreds of looted antiquities, including mosaics from Pompeii and ancient sarcophagi, allegedly linked to London art dealer Robin Symes, have been uncovered in Switzerland. Italian specialist art theft police uncovered 45 large crates of ‘priceless’ archaeological treasures in a storage unit in Geneva.
Italian police were able to convince a Swiss judge that the relics were stolen as some of the artifacts were allegedly already on a blacklist. Photographs of them had been among thousands found in the possession of an Italian policeman, found dead in mysterious circumstances in 1995 while under investigation for art trafficking.
