Among the recovered pieces were animal mummies, Adolf Hitler busts, silver statues, boxes carrying swastika engravings and imperial eagles, the latter being the emblem of the German Third Reich.
According to Head of the Argentine Federal Police Nestor Roncaglia, the operation was the result of an investigation aimed at "protecting and recovering cultural property," which was of mainly illegal origin, and hidden behind false walls.
Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich confirmed that some of the Asian artefacts, such as those of Chinese origin, were on the UNESCO Red List, a record that classifies endangered artworks and archeological objects coming from vulnerable countries.
