Argentine Federal Police have recovered over 200 historical documents related to national hero José de San Martín and other founding fathers. The documents were being offered for sale by an auction house via the internet, with an initial asking price of $100,000. Authorities initiated an investigation after discovering the sale listing and subsequently seized the materials. The recovered items are considered part of Argentina’s historical heritage and were at risk of being sold to foreign collectors. The documents will now undergo expert analysis to verify their authenticity and historical significance. This recovery prevents a significant loss to Argentina’s cultural patrimony and potentially halts illicit trafficking of historical artifacts. Authorities have not yet disclosed the identity of the auction house or any potential suspects.
