Prosecutors in Guatemala said they have found more possible pre-Hispanic artifacts during a search of the home of an American couple facing charges of smuggling historical relics.
Led by their lawyer Juan Pablo Aris Bravo, right, Stephanie Allison Jolluck, and Giorgio Salvador Rossilli exit out of a courthouse with their faces covered with a towel, after they were released, in Antigua, Guatemala, Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022. Stephanie Allison Jolluck was first captured on Nov.
The case involves two Americans, one a photographer and the other a connoisseur of Mayan folk art. Photographer and designer Stephanie Allison Jolluck was detained a week after trying to fly out of Guatemala with two stone carvings were made between 600 and 900 A.D.Jolluck was released on her own recognizance after her arrest at the airport because she was a long-term resident of Guatemala.
“They argued that, because they are foreigners, they cannot tell one piece from another,” de León said. “They told the judge that because they were pieces of stone they had seen sold at the markets, they never imagined that they were ancient archeological pieces.” De León said Rossilli also argued the pieces weren’t his, and that he had been given them by someone else to restore, and that he was returning them when he was detained.
