It was a five-ton shipment valued at nearly $750,000.

Italy’s Carabinieri for the Protection of Cultural Heritage has requested the artifact be returned.

The situation is more complicated than presented here, however: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2021-05-04/kim-kardashian-roman-statue-italy-government
A legal representative for Kardashian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Curiously enough, the defendant in the case is not Kardashian: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2021-05-04/kim-kardashian-roman-statue-italy-government
