Amineddoleh & Associates is excited to share some great news. A looted Persian artifact is returning to Iran. Back in the autumn, our founder, Leila A. Amineddoleh, brought the object to the attention of the Manhattan DA’s Office after receiving a tip from Dr. Lindsay Allen. The DA began investigating the piece and then seized it from TEFAF. After months of battling over this rare and magnificent work, the piece is being repatriated to Iran. In addition to being the “informant,” Ms. Amineddoleh also served as the heritage law expert in this matter, so this case is particularly exciting for our law firm.  Congratulations on the excellent work done by the entire Antiquities Trafficking Unit at the Manhattan DA’s Office.
