Suspended prison sentence and joint fine of 200,000 euros for two “looters” of the Lava treasure. Félix Biancamaria, 67 years old, considered the inventor of the treasure, and his friend and alleged accomplice, Jean-Michel Richaud, 68 years old.
The Marseille criminal court ruled that the gold dish, which would come from the same treasure as these coins, had indeed been discovered on a seabed, during the year 1986.
