Amsterdam Museum Must Hand Scythian Gold Over to Kiev, Court Ruling Says
13:42 GMT 26.10.2021 (Updated: 18:32 GMT 23.06.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Allard Pierson archaeological museum (APM) in Amsterdam has to hand over the Scythian gold collection from Crimea, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal ruled on Tuesday.
"The APM has to hand over the Crimean treasures to the Ukrainian State for safekeeping until the situation in Crimea has stabilised", the court ruling read.
The decision was slammed by Crimean head Sergei Aksyonov, who called the ruling "outrageous" and said it "covers up" the illegal seizure of property.
"An outrageous, unfair, and illegal decision, albeit expected, given the bias of European courts and their hostile attitude towards Russia and Crimea", Aksyonov wrote on his Telegram channel.
At the same time, Crimean Culture Minister Arina Novoselskaya said that the verdict runs counter to international regulations related to museum affairs.
The collection items will remain in the depositories of the Amsterdam museum either for three months, which are allotted for cassation or during the consideration of the cassation, Rob Meyer, the lawyer of Crimean museums, said.
