In October, the Denver Art Museum announced the return of four artifacts to Cambodia after the #PandoraPapers investigation reported the pieces are linked to a man charged with trafficking looted artifacts. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
The four antiquities came to the museum through Douglas Latchford, who in 2019 was indicted by U.S. prosecutors after decades of alleged trafficking in looted artifacts from the Khmer Empire.
