A river is full of sapphires d’Auvergne, and for several years, the deposit has been officially exploited by one of the owners of the site. But the watercourse crosses several private properties. Other residents are demanding their dues. They took their neighbor to court. “We really feel robbed, and we would really like the neighbor to be transparent with us. We want to know in what proportions and where the sapphires were taken”indicates a local resident.
The verdict expected Friday December 29
According to Me Patrick Roesch, lawyer for the plaintiffs, when they face each other, the owners must share the watercourse equally. Deep blue, the most beautiful pieces could sell for several thousand euros for less than a gram. The plaintiffs are demanding provisional compensation of one million euros from the owner-operator. The verdict is expected on Friday December 29.
