"Great" Britian shows once again what a load of tossers they are when it comes to chasing up antiquities crime (Craig Simpson 'Academic who exposed British Museum thefts 'annoyed to die before seeing justice' MSN 28/4/2026).
An expert who exposed the theft of hundreds of artefacts from the British Museum was “annoyed” to know he was dying without the case being resolved. The arts and heritage world was scandalised in 2023 when an arrest was made over items stolen from the museum’s collection and sold. There was outrage when it emerged that Dr Ittai Gradel, a Danish academic turned antiquities dealer who has died at 61 from cancer, had raised the alarm as early as 2021. The institution did not act on Dr Gradel’s warning that British Museum items were appearing on an online auction site.
