As explained to the Italian lawyers True, investigation into their client terminated due to expiration of statute of limitations. It is expected that in the near future will be decided by and the termination of the prosecution of American art dealer Robert Hecht (Robert Hecht), held the accused in the same case as the True. Marion True has become the focus of loud international scandal in the early 2000's, when it became clear that dozens of ancient artifacts from the Getty Museum have dubious origins. According to Italian law, in force since 1939, with the country banned the export of any art without the sanction of the state. A similar ban is registered in the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of Monuments, which the U.S. signed in 1983. However, private collectors and several museums, as it turned out, evaded the ban, pointing out that exported from Italy works of art were discovered before 1939 and purchased from antique dealers. An investigation carried out by Italian law enforcement agencies, as well as internal audit found that Marion True was aware of dubious origin items purchased by the Getty Museum, but knowingly gave permission for their purchase. Following Italy's similar claims against the Getty Museum has brought, and Greece. The criminal case against Marion True was instituted in Italy in 2004.
