Loot Thou Shall Not Steal: Hobby Lobby and the Museum of the Bible
It's a routine day for the customs officials at Memphis International Airport when they open a shipment labelled as tile samples. What they discover inside will shake the foundations of one of America's wealthiest families.
Tomb raiders, trafficking and blood treasure. Loot is a fascinating investigation into how the trade in stolen antiquities and art has become a major source of income for criminal syndicates, gangs, and terrorists across the globe. Using a different case study, each episode of Loot looks at how and why everybody from Islamic State to the Chinese Triad have muscled in on the act, and why international law enforcement agencies are determined to shut it down, but often powerless to act.
