Italian authorities have uncovered an illegal excavation of an Etruscan burial site in Umbria, recovering artifacts valued at $8.5 million. The operation was initiated after black market photographs prompted investigations. Drones and phone taps led to the discovery of two sarcophagi believed to belong to Etruscan princesses, alongside various other artifacts intended for illicit sale. The ongoing investigation involves the examination of the site and the potential involvement of local individuals in the theft.
