A small marble fragment believed to be from a 6th-century B.C. temple on the Acropolis has been voluntarily returned to Greece by a family in Chile that had held it for nearly a century, the culture ministry announced.

The repatriation, by the Head of the Antiquities Trafficking Unit Matthew Bogdanos, was achieved thanks to the long-standing and close cooperation between the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the Ministry of Culture.

Two antiquities that had been illegally removed from Greek territory at an unknown time were repatriated from Bern, Switzerland.
