German court convicts siblings over $37 million looted Egyptian artefacts A German court has convicted two siblings of money laundering over the illegal sale of ancient Egyptian artefacts, and ordered the confiscation of 32 million euros ($37 million). The brother and sister, who were not identified, were also hit with hefty fines in the case related to the objects, which allegedly came from illegal excavations in Egypt. The artefacts, which were sold for millions of euros to museums, included a bust of Cleopatra, a stone slab associated with King Tutankhamun and items from a princess's grave. The male defendant is said to have been involved in illegally trading the artefacts since 2013, according to prosecutors. He was accused of bringing several sarcophagi from the princess's grave to Germany, having them restored and then reselling them to a museum after concealing their origins.
The pregnant woman,who was identified as Kudirat Bello,was arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency,Lagos state command to be in possession of 33.3 kilogrammes of cannabis {cocaine,was sentenced to one day imprisonment by Justice Musa Karya,sitting at the Federal High court in Lagos.I know alot of people will be expecting her to get more days than one day for such an offence when others will be sentenced to 10-15years for the same offence.I believe because she is pregnant,the judge just used is his wise discretion to sentence her to one day,just for the sake of the unborn baby that is what i believe happened and the pregnant woman,would have learnt her lesson by now.
Thank God. My only concern is the baby
