The story has appeared in the Italian press along with a selection of pictures (Daniela Giammusso, "Archeologia: maxisequestro, torna in Italia tesoro trafugato", ANSA July 16, 2010). The Japanese dealer is identified as "Mister X del Sol Levante" who is said to have given his full co-operation.

Giuseppe Proietti is impressed with the scale of the return: "E' uno dei più importanti recuperi eseguiti con successo fino ad oggi".
