Spain 'very satisfied' with Odyssey treasure ruling



The statement of the Ministry of Culture has welcomed the decision by a Florida judge to order American treasure hunters Spain to tell the exact location of the Atlantic Ocean ship site, where gold and silver coins worth more than € 350 million Euro was discovered in May last year.

Odyssey Marine Exploration Company is currently in the light of two weeks to provide the full list of artifacts recovered, and, moreover, have been forced to allow the Spanish government inspectors.

Spain seeks to confirm whether the treasure was found in Spanish hotels waters, or if it comes from a shipwrecked Spanish galleon, in a case that he would seek its return.

Despite this, the Odyssey Marine insists that the wreck was found in international Barcelona hotels waters, but did not wish to confirm the location, fearing that any remaining treasure can be poached by their rivals.
