Spanish government says that the inventory of the Odyssey held in Gibraltar is false!

 

The Odyssey saga is never ending. Now, the Spanish government says that the inventory of the Odyssey held in Gibraltar is false! What remains in Gibraltar of the Odyssey treasure, said to be a number of silver coins and some artefacts, was verified earlier this month in the presence of representatives fom Odyssey, descendants, HM Customs and an independent notary. According to Odyssey the container of artefacts has been in the Customs warehouse since 2007, sealed by Gibraltar Customs and unopened until 16 March when the container was opened for inspection and verification. But the Spanish government has now told the Florida court, where the case was heard, that he inventory of the objects that remain in Gibraltar is false. They claim that 'important objects are missing.' The court has been told that the inventory held in Gibraltar renews the suspicions that Oddysey is hiding information of the artefacts they left in Gibraltar. A US judge has ordered Odyssey that the artefacts must be handed over without delay. They regard the handing over of the artefacts as completing the sentence of a month ago whereby the bulk of the treasure from the Spanish frigate Nuestra senora de las Mercedes was flown to Spain. The ship had been sunk in the early 1800s by a British warship off the Portuguese coast. But a claim for the treasure has been filed at the Admiralty court in Gibraltar by descendants of the owners of the treasure. There are legal arguments that suggest that the court ruling in Florida cannot bind the Gibraltar courts unless a case is heard here and subject to the judgements that might arise
