U.S. returns $80 million worth of stolen Italian art

The United States returns millions of dollars worth of stolen artifacts to Italy. The confiscated collection includes hundreds of trafficked valuables, from tiny Roman coins to life-sized bronze statues. Ian Lee has more. At first glance, you could mistake this for an art museum. But everything on display at this former prison in Rome was stolen. More than 600 priceless treasures valued, if you must put a dollar amount, at more than $80 million. Ancient statues, mosaics and manuscripts are all part of Italy's decades-old effort to recover antiquities that tomb raiders snatched, selling them to dealers who forge certificates of authenticity to market the loot to high-end buyers, auction houses and museums. We also have pieces here from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as a dozen different museums, collectors, institutions and galleries from around the United States. U.S. officials say they're committed to returning the stolen art as a sign of respect for Italy in its artistic heritage, and say there's a lot more where this came from. As this interview is being conducted, an antiquity is being trafficked. Italian police are using artificial intelligence to search for stolen assets, with a detection system that scans the web and social media for images. This is an extraordinary piece. U.S. anti-trafficking teams say they're hot on the trail of criminals, and promise to keep hauling the stolen loot back where it belongs. Ian Lee, CBS News, London.
