Australia's return of stolen artefacts 'rights a historical wrong'

SYDNEY, Aug 3: Australia's national gallery said Thursday it will return three sculptures to Cambodia after an investigation found they were likely to have been "illegally exported" from the country.

The bronze sculptures from the 9th-10th century were bought for $1.5 million in 2011 by British art dealer Douglas Latchford, who was later "convincingly implicated in the illegal trade of antiquities", the gallery said.
