Paul Getty Trust and Others v. Italy (application no. 35271/19) The applicants are the J. Paul Getty Trust, a non-profit trust registered in the United States, and 14 US nationals who all live in Los Angeles. The 14 US nationals are the board of trustees of the J. Paul Getty Trust. The case concerns a confiscation order, issued by the Italian authorities, aimed at the recovery of the "Victorious Youth", a bronze statue dating from the classical Greek period (300-100 BC) attributed to Lysippus. The statue, which was allegedly illegally purchased by the J. Paul Getty Trust, is currently housed at the Getty Villa Museum in Malibu (California, US). The Italian authorities acted with the purpose of recovering an allegedly unlawfully exported piece of cultural heritage. Relying on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the European Convention on Human Rights, the applicants allege that the confiscation order was unlawful, as it was not legally foreseeable; that the statue is not part of Italy's cultural heritage and so the aim of the confiscation order was illegitimate; and that the confiscation order placed an excessive burden on them. The Court will give its rulings in writing on the following cases, some of which concern issues which have already been submitted to the Court, including excessive length of proceedings. These rulings can be consulted from the day of their delivery on the Court's online database HUDOC. They will not appear in the press release issued on that day.
