The article features Matthew Bogdanos, prosecutor and chief of the Antiquities Trafficking Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York City. Bogdanos served as a Marine colonel and military lawyer and was an amateur middleweight boxer. He investigated the looted mummy coffin acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for four million dollars. The raids conducted by Bogdanos and his agents led to the seizure of more than 3,600 antiquities worth around 200 million dollars.
