LOS ANGELES.- Kim Kardashian found herself caught up in an unlikely international art smuggling row on Tuesday, involving an ancient Roman statue that was imported to California under her name.

US prosecutors called for the statue fragment – which was seized at a Los Angeles port in 2016 – to be forfeited and returned to Italy. They cited an Italian archaeologist who found it saying the piece had been “looted, smuggled and illegally exported.”
