Peter Higgs must return items he may still have to the British Museum and provide information about the whereabouts of missing items or their proceeds
A London court on Tuesday ordered a former curator at the British Museum accused of stealing hundreds of artifacts to provide the museum with a list of all items he is suspected of taking and to return those still in his possession.
Peter Higgs, the museum’s curator of Ancient Greek collections and the acting head of the Greece and Rome department, was sacked after the alleged thefts came to light. Higgs was not represented at the hearing at London’s High Court on Tuesday, but lawyers acting for him in relation to the criminal investigation were present. They declined to comment.
