'Soul of our ancestors': US to return stolen Cambodian treasures

A prestigious U.S. museum will hand back more than a dozen valuable antiquities to Cambodia, a prosecutor has said, after they were plundered and illegally trafficked into the institution's collection.

They were originally stolen by prolific antiquities trafficker Douglas Latchford who in 2019 was charged with operating a major network that stole treasures from Southeast Asia.
