 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.
