The seizure and return of the looted artifacts included items from Italy and other countries in the restitution of historical pieces.
Dozens of precious antiquities were returned to Italy by U.S. authorities in a growing trend worldwide to return historical pieces to their country of origin when requested.
CNN reported that the items were found in various locations, including homes, galleries, museums, and other locations across New York City. One of the world's largest collectors, billionaire Michael Steinhardt, was found to be in possession of pieces, and authorities say they have banned him for life from acquiring antiquities.

Solvay to cut waste discharged off Italy, ending tussle with activistBelgian chemicals group Solvay said it plans to cut industrial waste discharged into the sea from soda-ash production on a Tuscan beach, in the wake of pressure from environmentalists and activist Bluebell Capital Partners. Solvay, which had previously pushed back on concerns the waste may be harmful, now plans to invest around 15 million euros ($14.96 million) to reduce the release of limestone residue into the sea at its facility in Rosignano, Italy, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. That will help cut the maximum it discharges into the sea by 20% compared to what regulators currently allow the company by 2030, it said. By 2040, that volume will drop to 40% below what the authorities have said it can release into the sea.
