The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on Thursday ruled in favour of Italy's long-standing demand that the Getty Villa Museum in the United States return an ancient Greek statue which Rome claims was smuggled out of the country decades ago. It was made by Greek sculptor Lysippos between 300 and 100 BC and discovered in 1964 by a fisherman in the Adriatic Sea, off the central Italian town of Pedaso. After being sold several times, it was bought in 1977 in Munich by the Getty Trust for $3.95 million.
