According to a statement of Gerd Rupprecht, the head of the archeological department of the regional authority for heritage protection, the illegal excavations in Rhineland-Palatinate are on the rise. He supposed that some hundred illegal excavations take place in the Federal State yearly. In spite of the enormous damage to the invaluable historical heritage, a criminal procedure is initiated rarely. In fact, there is no reasonable chance to capture the delinquents. |
