Italian Trial Of Getty Curator Is Suspended

Almost as soon as it got started, the trial in Italy of a Getty curator was postponed. “The prosecution of Marion True, the Getty’s curator for antiquities and director of the Getty Villa, will resume Nov. 16, a three judge panel decided. True, 56, is accused of criminal conspiracy to receive stolen goods and illicit receipt of archeological items purportedly dug up in Italy. The case involves 42 allegedly looted objects and is more than 10 years in the making. Through an attorney, True has asserted her innocence, and the museum has backed her up.”
