Paisans reneague again, shady court verdict demands Greek bronze back because it's Italian; which it's not.
Getty still has much to answer for. These goombahs are not going away - Getty might have to make an offer they can't refuse.
Italy's highest court has ruled that the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles must hand over an ancient Greek statue that was first discovered by Italian fisherman.
The Getty Museum argues that since the statue is Greek, not Italian, it "is not and has never been part of Italy's cultural heritage." The museum says it believes the court order violates U.S. and international law, and that it plans to "continue to defend our legal right to the statue."
