Of the antiquities, 187 were seized pursuant to the Office’s investigation into SUBHASH KAPOOR, while the remaining were recovered pursuant to other ongoing criminal investigations.In July 2020, the Office filed extradition paperwork with India for the five India-based codefendants and KAPOOR, who had been held in a prison since 2012 for charges relating to his role selling stolen Indian antiquities.“Subhash Kapoor was one of the world’s most prolific antiquities traffickers, yet thanks to the work of our dedicated investigators and analysts, we have been able to recover thousands of pieces looted by his network.As discussed in detail in the Kapoor Criminal Complaint and Indictment, Zahid Parvez and Zeeshan BUTT utilized their family businesses strategically located across the word — in Islamabad, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Dubai — to supply the international art market with stolen antiquities from countries including, but not limited to, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.The investigations were conducted by Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bogdanos, Chief of the Antiquities Trafficking Unit; Assistant District Attorneys Bradley Barbour, James Edwards-Lebair, and Taylor Holland; Supervising Investigative Analyst Apsara Iyer, Investigative Analysts Giuditta Giardini, Alyssa Thiel, Daniel Healey, Hilary Chassé, and Allison Stacy; and Special Agents Robert Fromkin, John Paul Labbat, Robert Mancene, and Chris Rommeney of Homeland Security Investigations."
