I’ve been following the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek case and the Danish failure to help the Italian investigators in the major Hecht-Medici trial over the smuggling and sale of illegal antiquities. Not much has happened while I’ve been away, except for continued accusations by various opposition politicians that the Danish Ministry of Justice has failed its obligation to co-operate in the Italian trial and that they are now trying to put the blame on the Danish police.
