"Bolton Council paid £440,000 for the Amarna Princess in 2003 believing it was 3,300-years-old - but in 2006 experts found it was counterfeit.
George Greenhalgh, his wife Olive, 82, and sons, George, 52, and Shaun, 46, appeared at Bolton Magistrates' Court. They were bailed to appear at Bolton Crown Court on 24 July. . . . George Greenhalgh Snr, Olive Greenhalgh and Shaun Greenhalgh are all accused of conspiracy to defraud, including allegedly selling faked and forged works of arts as genuine, between 1989 and 2006. They are also charged with money laundering fake arts and antiques and the proceeds of the sales from the antiques.
George Greenhalgh Snr and Shaun Greenhalgh face an additional charge of money laundering the proceeds of the sale of the Amarna Princess. George Greenhalgh Jnr is charged with money laundering fake arts and antiques and the proceeds of the sales from the antiques.
