Spanish Tapestry Repatriation

ICE returned a 16th century tapestry, stolen in 1979 from a church, to the government of Spain April 17, at a repatriation ceremony at the Spanish ambassador's residence in Washington, D.C. The tapestry was seized by HSI special agents in Houston after it was sold at auction. The wool and silk tapestry was stolen in December 1979 from a national cathedral in Roda de Isábena, in the province of Huesca, Aragon, Spain.
