The Alliance to Counter Crime Online has published a report which claims that groups and pages give “treasure-hunters” a venue for crowdsourcing knowledge, and tips for evading law enforcement.

It is also said that antiquities crime also funds militant and/or violent groups, including the PKK, and the far-right Turkish Grey Wolves group.
