:The phenomenon of antiquities smuggling is a complicated issue. The lack of official data makes it difficult to do an integrated analysis of the problem. The aim of this article is to present an accurate view of antiquities smuggling in the recent past. After gaining official permission from the Greek police, we examined 246 official arrests made by the Greek Department against Antiquities Smuggling (Athens Office) that occurred between 1999 and 2009. First and foremost, our results revealed that many arrests showed instances of fake antiquities. Moreover, it seems that there is a connection between organized crime and antiquities forgery. In addition, people with higher status are more often involved in antiquities forgery. With respect to the stolen objects, coins were by far the most preferred objects when it comes to forgery, and forgers are also using mostly bronze when it comes to these forgeries. Antiquity looting seems to have many hidden aspects, and the varied natured of antiquities smuggling requires the cooperation of a range of competent authorities and an in-depth investigation of the data, which should be based on the principles of the scientific method.

F 词：古董走私中的欺诈、伪造和赝品以及有组织犯罪的作用

:古物走私现象是一个复杂的问题。由于缺乏官方数据，因此很难对问题进行综合分析。这篇文章的目的是对最近的古物走私提供一个准确的看法。在获得希腊警方的正式许可后，我们检查了 1999 年至 2009 年间发生的 246 起希腊打击古物走私部门（雅典办公室）的官方逮捕行动。首先，我们的结果显示，许多逮捕行动都显示了假古物的实例。此外，有组织犯罪与古董伪造之间似乎存在联系。此外，地位较高的人更经常参与古董伪造。关于被盗物品，硬币是迄今为止最受伪造的物品，当涉及到这些伪造品时，伪造者也主要使用青铜。盗窃古物似乎有很多隐情，走私古物的性质多种多样，需要多方主管部门的配合和对资料的深入调查，要本着科学方法的原则。
