European court upholds Italy's right to seize prized Greek bronze from Getty Museum, rejects appeal

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of Italy's efforts to recover the "Victorious Youth" statue from the Getty, stating it was proportionate.
The Getty purchased the bronze statue in 1977 for $4 million, which Italy claimed was illegally exported, leading to the confiscation order.
The court criticized the Getty Trust for negligence in purchasing the statue despite being aware of Italy's claims, making the confiscation order justified.
