"We will continue to investigate the many trafficking networks that have targeted Indian cultural heritage," Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA, said in a statement. His office worked with the Cultural Property, Art, and Antiquities Group of the New York branch of the US federal Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
"While our work continues, we remain resolute in our commitment to safeguard against the plundering of antiquities and guarantee that those who seek to gain from these heinous acts are held fully accountable," William S. Walker, HSI New York's special agent in charge, said in a statement. Walker added, in reference to Kapoor: "Today's repatriation marks another victory in what has been a multi-year, international investigation into antiquities trafficked by one of history's most prolific offenders."
