Former Getty Curator Marion True Escapes Looting Charges in Italy

Former Getty antiquities curator Marion True is now officially two for two in fighting off illegal buying/collecting/removing charges. Back in 2007, she won her freedom in Athens after authorities there had accused her of “knowingly purchasing looted antiquities,” something she continues to deny. Her escape route there? The judge threw the case out, saying the statute of limitations concerning the possible crimes had expired. Now the exact same thing has happened in Italy, where she was facing similar charges.
