A court in Uruguay has ruled that the government must sell a huge Nazi bronze eagle that was recovered off the South American country's coast in 2006.
The eagle with a swastika under its talons was part of the stern of the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee that sank off Uruguay's coast at the outset of World War II. The divisive symbol has been kept hidden inside a sealed crate in a Uruguayan navy warehouse for more than a decade.
The court said Friday that it must be sold within 90 days and the proceeds must be split equally among the investors who organized the effort to recover the eagle from the bottom of the River Plate.
Uruguay's government can appeal the decision.
