CAIRO - 25 June 2021: Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) Mostafa Waziri said as many as 114 looted antiquities that were smuggled to France, are due to return home on Sunday, as part of the joint investigations launched by Egypt’s Prosecution and the French judicial authorities.
In statements on Thursday, Waziri praised the fruitful cooperation between the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, the Egyptian Embassy in France, the Egyptian Prosecution as well as French judicial authorities to help restore the stolen artifacts.
