plundering a 2,000-year-old shipwreck after surfacing with a number of objects. The unnamed man, 39, was emerging from the water wearing a wetsuit when he was approached by police. He had a

Guardia Civil for a crime against historical heritage. He allegedly looted artefacts from The Ses Llumetes wreck, a 1st century A.D. Roman shipwreck discovered in Porto Cristo harbour,


Mallorca, Spain. It is known for its well-preserved wooden hull and a diverse cargo, including ceramics, building materials, and a unique deposit of volcanic ash that protected the wood from


decay. Article continues below The wreck site has been extensively researched and is considered one of the most important underwater archaeological sites in Mallorca. Since being charged,


the man, an ex-pat living in Mallorca, has been released by police. His breathing gear used for diving and his metal detector were confiscated. The use of this type of equipment is banned in


protected areas which serve as the locations of historical sites. Article continues below The man also received several fines for breaching diving regulations after the incident on May 22.
