#KimKardashian
o Federal agents seized an ancient sculpture that they say Kim Kardashian bought a few years back.
o Officials say the ancient Roman sculpture in question was illegally smuggled out of Italy.
o When shipped to the U.S., officials got suspicious about the sculpture’s origins because of two different sets of paperwork attached to it.
o Now, Italian authorities believe it was stolen and illegally taken out of the country.
o Kardashian isn’t wanted by the Feds – and in fact, they don’t believe she’s aware of the problematic history.
o Her rep says that “this is the first she has learned of its existence” and that they “believe it may have been purchased using her name without authorization and because it was never received, she was unaware of the transaction.”
