In more than four hours of testimony, Peter Watson, a British investigative journalist who is a witness for the prosecution, detailed what he said was Robin Symes's elaborate use of offshore companies and warehouses to buy and sell ancient artworks. During Marion True's tenure, the Getty bought millions of dollars' worth of antiquities from Mr. Symes, and Mr. Watson suggested in his testimony that the two became social friends. Without indicating where the information came from, Mr. Watson testified Wednesday that Christo Michailidis and Mr. Symes were attending a dinner at the villa given by Shelby White and Leon Levy, American antiquities collectors who were clients of Mr. Symes.
