SummaryFor decades, the late Douglas Latchford built a reputation as a dealer and scholar of Khmer artifacts.But federal investigators say he was a "conduit" for looted treasures stolen from temple complexes and archeological sites.Latchford was accused of using falsified documents to launder plundered artifacts to major museums and billionaire collections.AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.Whether found in a respected museum or abillionaire’s mansion, it is likely that any given Khmer sculpture in the West was, at some point, ripped from an ancient temple complex and trafficked out of Cambodia. There is also a reasonable chance it passed through the hands of a British man called Douglas Latchford.To his customers, the antiquities dealer was a respectable figure — a trusted vendor, prominent (albeit largely self-taught) art scholar and author of multiple books on sculpture from the Khmer Empire, a civilization that prospered in what is now Cambodia and other parts of Southeast Asia between the 9th and 15th centuries. From the 1960s until his death in 2020, Latchford supplied collectors with ornate friezes, temple carvings and statues of Hindu gods, Buddhas and bodhisattvas.That these deities were sometimes missing limbs or crudely severed at the ankles, or were still covered in dirt when he photographed them, barely raised eyebrows until the end of his life. When they did, the well-connected dealer usually had paperwork or cover stories to assuage buyers’ concerns. But in his later years, as US authorities began investigating artifacts spirited out of Cambodia during the country’s civil war and genocidalKhmer Rouge erathat followed, the evidence against Latchford mounted.It now appears that much of Latchford’s inventory had been illegally pillaged from abandoned archeological sites like Angkor Wat and Koh Ker. Small-scale looters, sometimes with the help of local military personnel, would remove the works with shovels, chisels, picks and even dynamite
