The freighter Lucona sank after an explosion on January 23, 1977 in the Indian Ocean, killing six of the twelve crew members. The case was an attempted insurance fraud, and the loss of the crew was part of the calculations. Of deep political interest is that the official cargo was a uranium ore processing plant[clarification needed], of great interests to many countries.
Hannes Androsch, Austrian Minister of Finance, attended 11 Bilderberg meetings and was on the Bilderberg Steering committee.

This, known as the Noricum scandal, caught the attention of the public, parliament and courts in Austria. Amry then died of a sudden heart attack - or poisoning.
