The governor of Chile’s Region V, Luis Guastavino announced Chile’s plans to keep 100 percent of any treasure found on the Robinson Crusoe Island. The announcement came as a disappointment to both the citizens of the island as well as Wagner Technologies, the company that claims to have discovered the treasure.
Wagner Technologies claims to have discovered US$10 billion in gold and jewels using a mobile geo-radar robot named “Arturito” (ST, Sept 26). Fernando Uribe-Etxeverría, president of Wagner Technologies, later announced on Oct. 3 that the company was renouncing any claims to the treasure they may have had (ST, Oct 5).
Wagner had agreed to give the government the exact coordinates of the treasure they claim to have found, however, following statements made by Rodrigo Irrazábal, a company lawyer, on Wednesday, Wagner plans to withhold the location until a new government assumes power and the company can renegotiate a deal.
Government officials have raised the possibility of levying fines if the company refuses to submit the coordinates of the treasure they maintain lies buried on Robinson Crusoe Island.
