The bronze sculptures will be given back to Cambodia amid a global push return looted goods.
Australia's national gallery will return three 9th and 10th Century bronze sculptures to Cambodia, after they were found to be stolen.
Cambodia's government welcomed the historic move as "an important step towards rectifying past injustices".The three artworks originally came from the Champa Kingdom that once inhabited Vietnam and parts of Cambodia. Mr Latchford has been implicated in the illegal trade of antiquities since 2016 according to the NGA, with charges laid against him in 2019 relating to the alleged trafficking of stolen and looted Cambodian artefacts.
Mr Latchford's daughter, Nawapan Kriangsak, worked alongside researchers from the NGA and Cambodia's Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts to help return the goods.
