MILAN (AP) â Italy has won a legal victory in its bid to reclaim an ancient marble statue it asserted was stolen after it turned up in the possession of a New York antiquities dealer.
A U.S. district court in New York on Monday threw out a suit seeking to lift Italy s immunity brought by the Safani Gallery, which paid $152,625 in 2017 for the sculpture depicting the head of Alexander the Great dating Augustan Age of 300 B.C.
The judge rebuffed several attempts by the gallery to argue that Italyâs behavior had forfeited its protection under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
