Over 80 boxes full of Nazi material found in basement of Argentina's Supreme Court.

The unusual find was made as workers were clearing the building's basement ahead of its archives being moved to a newly created museum.

The documents were sent by the German embassy in Tokyo and arrived in Argentina on 20 June 1941 inside 83 diplomatic pouches aboard a Japanese steamship, according to information gathered by court officials.

They ended up in the Supreme Court that same year after they were confiscated by Argentine customs officials who had opened five pouches at random and found Nazi propaganda material inside.
