...these cases in a country like Greece, where almost every household holds some ancient relic or icon? It's impossible to monitor every inch of the country. But we have a good network of informants. We're busting cases daily. Your investigations forced the J. Paul Getty Museum to relinquish a number of looted Greek works. Who's next?
