There seems to be a close connection between the Mafia and persons involved in the trafficking of over two thousand archaeological objects stolen from Sicily.
The article claims the contraband is being investigated by the Italian police. The artifacts used to arrive illicitly in Malta by sea before continuing to the UK and America. In January, the Italian police issued arrest warrants for the group(s) involved.
Besides investigating certain objects found in Swiss banks, the Italian police are also investigating a number of Maltese bank accounts in connection with this operation. It is believed that some accounts are being used by people in connection with the Mafia and the trafficking of the archaeological objects. They are not excluding the possibility that some of these objects have been deposited into local banks. The investigation is ongoing.
