Prosecutors accused Edoardo Almagia, an antiquities dealer based in Italy and educated at Princeton, of trafficking thousands of illicit artifacts worth tens of millions, linked to tomb raiding.
Matthew Bogdanos stated in court that Almagia participated in a scheme to defraud Italy, possessing stolen property. The district attorney's office plans to coordinate with Interpol for international apprehension.
Almagia, who sold artifacts to museums and collectors, has previously denied any wrongdoing, asserting that the allegations stem from overly aggressive investigators that have harmed the antiquities market.
