ED writes to Australian art gallery for records on smuggler's idol deals
The New Indian Express Vellore
|July 30, 2025
The Enforcement Directorate has written to the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra seeking details of payments made by them to convicted idol smuggler Subash Kapoor and his US-based art gallery for procurement of Indian artifacts, sources said.
The National Gallery of Australia had procured 13 artifacts that Kapoor had stolen from Indian temples and paid several million dollars to his Art of the Past Gallery in New York. They had returned the antique pieces to India a few years ago.
While Kapoor was convicted for idol theft by a Kumbakonam court in 2022, the ED had registered a case under the PMLA to trace the money trail.
