The biggest underwater treasure – for nearly 15 billion euros, it still cannot be divided, bTV reported.
It is disputed by several countries and its discoverer. And that even before the treasure was taken out of the Krib Sea.
According to historical documents, in 1708 the Spanish galleon “San Jose“ carried 344 tons of gold and silver coins, as well as 116 boxes of emeralds.
The ship is attacked by the British military and sinks.
In 2015, its location was established by a private treasure hunting company.
Now Colombia, in whose waters the sunken vessel is located, wants to withdraw part of the cargo.
Spain, which owned the ship, also claims a share of the treasure.
This is what they want from the private company, as well as from the indigenous population of Bolivia, whose ancestors worked in the mines – source of treasures.
