NEW YORK -- Two days after Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr announced on Nov. 2 that 45 ancient artworks worth $250,000 from the inventory of Upper East Side art dealer Nayef Homsi would be repatriated to Pakistan, the country's New York Consul General Ayesha Ali marked the occasion with a repatriation ceremony.
"We are very grateful to you," Ali told the U.S. agents who had worked on the case. "We are also very confident that you and your officers will continue to pursue the criminals involved in the theft and bring them to justice."
