As Judge Merryday did, the appeals court ordered that the treasure must be given to the Spanish government. But in what appears to be a contradictory statement, Judge Black wrote: "We do not hold the recovered [treasure] is ultimately Spanish property." Until Odyssey exhausts all its appeals, it may be some time before the coins are returned to Spain.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2011/09/22/inenglish/1316668850_850210.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2011/09/22/inenglish/1316668850_850210.html" rel="nofollow">https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2011/09/22/inenglish/1316668850_850210.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
