Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the illicit trade of art and antiquities. Theft and trafficking of cultural property objects is a major problem, which is a unique feature of debate at national and international level as well. A global black market has developed in the world of art and antiquities, which is dominated by organized crime groups. The present study intends to give an overview of the legal framework of the illicit trade of art at international, EU and national level, demonstrating its importance from the point of view of the practice.
