California Investigates Getty

The State of California has opened an investigation into the running of the Getty Trust. “The attorney general has requested eight years of records relating to trust Chief Executive Barry Munitz’s compensation and expenses, as well as expenditures made for his wife, grants, gifts to trustees and a 2002 real estate transaction. State regulators also have asked for documents connected to criminal charges pending in Italy against Marion True, the Getty’s curator for antiquities, for allegedly conspiring to purchase looted artifacts.”
