Art and cultural property crime, which includes theft, fraud, looting, and trafficking across state and international lines, is a looming criminal enterprise with estimated losses in the billions of dollars annually.
To recover these precious pieces—and to bring these criminals to justice—the FBI has a dedicated Art Crime Team supported by DOJ trial attorneys for prosecutions. The Bureau also runs the National Stolen Art File, a computerized index of reported stolen art and cultural properties for the use of law enforcement agencies across the world.
Join us for an evening with the FBI to discuss art crimes and how to avoid purchasing a fake.
RSVP Important.
