ATHENS: Greece said it has recovered hundreds of looted artefacts including a second-century bronze statue of Alexander the Great from a notorious British antiquities dealer after a 17-year legal battle.
The fight to repatriate the trove of 351 objects began in 2006 with authorities investigating the eponymous company of Robin Symes in the country and abroad, Greek Culture Minister Lina Medoni said in a statement late Friday.
