תושב פלורידה מפקיד מגילות תורה עתיקות ולוחות כתב יתדות בחקירת הברחת עתיקות בארה"ב

הערכה

A Florida man has surrendered ancient Torah scrolls and cuneiform tablets as part of a federal antiquities smuggling investigation. The forfeiture includes $75,000 in cash tied to violations of anti-smuggling laws, along with a two-year ban on buying or selling foreign antiquities. This case signals that U.S. authorities are actively pursuing individuals who traffic in looted cultural heritage items, with consequences that extend beyond simple fines. Watch for whether this probe leads to further charges or reveals a broader smuggling network.
