Is Kim Kardashian a smuggler or a victim of fraud? The scandalous story of the smuggling of a sculpture from Italy to the United States after 5 years received a court epilogue.
The name of Kim Kardashian (40) is again in the middle of a major international scandal related to the smuggling of a sculpture of the goddess Athena, built in the first or second century BC. According to experts, the valuable copy was found in Los Angeles in 2016 in a container containing 40 other items, including furniture and decorations. These works were commissioned to equip the home of then-spouses Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The consignment note stated a total weight of 5.5 tons, as well as the name of the customer and importer Kim Kardashian. This was delivered by Zaklad Noel Roberts for a total price of $745,882.

This shipment attracted the attention of police and customs officials. The consignment was therefore seized until its origin was fully investigated. There was a suspicion that it was an abuse and smuggling of cultural and historical heritage.
Supplier Zaklad Noel Roberts has a completely different story. According to their records, the sculpture of Athena was owned by Axel Vervoordt. He then went to the English collector’s collection through the French Art Gallery and the German Auction House. But there are no clear traces of how it was found in his legacy.
