The Federal Bureau of Investigation is examining the sale of potentially stolen artefacts from the British Museum to American buyers. This investigation was initiated following reports last year that a number of ancient jewels and gems had gone missing from the museum and were purportedly sold to a collector in Washington DC, as per a BBC report. The British Museum has stated that out of approximately 1,500 items believed to be stolen or missing, 626 have been recovered so far.
