As it stands currently, federal authorities are seeking the forfeiture of the ancient Roman statue that was allegedly given to the entrepreneur. Kim Kardashian’s name was found in the complaint about the rumored “smuggled” Roman Statue. However, the social media star quickly took to her Twitter handle to say that she has nothing to do with the purchase of the ancient statue or any heist. Someone else dragged the reality star into the situation with the sole purpose of denting her name.
Did Kim Kardashian Purchase A “Looted” Roman Sculpture?
Just like many people would not like to hear their names in any illegal mention, the SKIMS founder did not like hearing this rumor about her. Kim Kardashian broke her silence. She argued that she did not purchase an ancient Roman sculpture. Meanwhile, federal authorities are suggesting that someone might have possibly smuggled it under her name. This bizarre story started trending on Twitter yesterday morning.
Is Kim Kardashian Part Of An Art Heist? If So, How Did It Happen?
Kim Kardashian’s alleged involvement in the art heist stemmed from several 2016 reports that claimed the ancient statue arrived at the Port of Los Angeles. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized the item. The broker for the materials listed the buyer, consignee, and importer as “Kim Kardashian dba Noel Roberts Trust.”
Automatically – leading fans to think that the reality star from KUWTK has a hand in the art heist. Moreover, “Kim Kardashian dba Noel Roberts Trust” is the real name the television personality and her trust use to purchase real estate properties.
Sadly, as federal authorities have accused her of purchasing the illegal properties, fans of keeping up with the Kardashians reality TV show have since been speechless. Coming again that Kim is a self-proclaimed billionaire and can purchase any piece of art she wants.
Why Would She Want A Stolen Property?
Several reports from different offline and online media outlets describe the delivery as containing “antiques, furniture, and decorations,” which contains 40 pieces “all valued at $745,882.” However, the documents did not accuse Kim Kardashian or her family of an artistic heist. Italian officials think the artifact was “looted” from Italy and patiently waited for its return.
The Reality TV Star Never Heard Of The Sculpture Before
The star celebrity of the keeping up with the Kardashians show has since broken her silence on this matter. A representative for the star told the media, “This is the first that she has learned of its existence. We believe it may have been purchased using her name without authorization, and because it was never received, she was unaware of the transaction.”
Deduction From Kim Kardashian’s Representative
Excerpts from the discussion with Kim’s rep suggest that the reality star and her other representatives are conducting a thorough investigation surrounding this art heist. For now – it is still unclear whether it was an elaborate prank or a case of stolen identity. Authorities say they found “contradictions” in the documents about the items. The federal authorities, on their part, seized the statue after they found that the broker did not provide “sufficient” documentation to the American authorities.
About Kim Kardashian’s Defense
From the way the news has been swirling since yesterday, it is obvious that someone likely pretended to be the KKW Beauty star just to get their hands on the priceless art. The U.S. government revealed that Italian archaeologists concluded that the piece existed during the Roman Empire but no one has dared to export it.
Fans Hope About The Art Heist
