Culture Minister George Voulgarakis on Thursday reiterated Athens' intention to legally claim objects from a recent auction in London of silverware and other precious objects belong to early 20th century Greek monarch George I, an issue that caused political reverberations in the country last week.

Voulgarakis made the statement from Parliament's podium, where he replied to a tabled question by Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) deputy Athanasios Leventis.
The culture minister added that all relevant lists of items from the one-time "royal household" are known to the government, "although these did not include the additional items that appeared at Christies (the auction house)".
