Authorities have arrested a woman accused of running online auctions on social media to sell ancient Greek artefacts in multiple countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and Italy.
The suspect, described as a foreign national, was detained in Athens on Thursday by police officers working on antiquities trafficking cases.
During a search of her home, officers seized several ancient relics, including pottery fragments, figurine pieces, and a satyr statuette, a creature from Greek mythology.
The suspect has been referred to a public prosecutor and will face charges. No further details have been released.
Under Greek law, trafficking in antiquities without legal authorisation can result in up to two years in prison, with sentences of up to 10 years for more serious offences.
