Loot Stealing Beauty: The Morgantina Goddess and the Getty Museum
The curator of the J. Paul Getty Museum's antiquities collection, Marion True, falls into disgrace, brought down by jet-setting antiquities dealer, Robin Symes.
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.
