There are stamps that we had to anonymize to protect the correct result of the investigation."2.- “For traffickers, it is easy to traffic in countries at war because there is no surveillance. Populations solve other more serious problems such as survival."3-. "There are many works that can be found for sale on the Internet, simply. Not necessarily works of this quality, but many works that are also regularly looted in France."4.- "If the general public knows it, they will not buy. When demand decreases, traffic networks break (...). This is very important."5.- "When the legal procedures are finished, of course, the objective is to send them back to Libya so that they can be visited in the Cyrene museum."
