A new trial opens in Marseille this Monday, against two men who tried to sell a piece from this set of exceptional pieces dating from the Roman Empire. Félix Biancamaria and his childhood friend and alleged accomplice, Jean-Michel Richaud, are being prosecuted before the criminal court for concealment and possession of a maritime cultural property.
It was while fishing for sea urchins in 1985 in the Gulf of Lava, 17 kilometers north of Ajaccio, with his brother Ange and a friend, that he discovered the first gold pieces of the treasure.
