EXCLUSIVE. Here Kim (28) has to wait months for her trial for three ‘stolen’ stones: “Just give me a fine and let me go, please”

‘Hey, that’s a nice stone,’ thought Kim (28). She picked it up and put it in her suitcase as a souvenir. But the Antwerp woman was arrested at Antalya airport on suspicion of theft of archaeological artefacts, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years. She shows our reporter the poor apartment where she is now temporarily staying with her mother, and goes in search of the scene of the disaster. “If the judge would see where I picked up that stone, I think there would be much more understanding.”
