They worked for days to grading of a house when they discovered ingots and gold coins, worth 900,000 euros, without notifying owners.
“ I remember telling them about jokingly : If you find a treasure, you tell me ! ‘, “said the resident of Eure, who wishes to remain anonymous, daily Paris-Normandie. The joke took an unexpected dimension, since the workers responsible for leveling the ground of his house have indeed found gold bars and gold coins.
In the yard, they came face to nose with a real gold mine hidden in jars sixteen gold bars of a kilo each and 600 gold USD 20 in 1924 and 1927, each weighing 33 grams, the newspaper said. The booty was estimated at more than 900,000 euros.
The three workers admitted the facts
The workers, aged 20, 33 and 40, have decided to seize loot and sell at a numismatist (coin collector) of the area. These are checks deposited to the account of one of the workers who became suspicious of Bercy. Rensiegnement service of the Ministry of Economy, TRACFIN, was then used and the gendarmerie group of Eure and Regional Response Group (GIR) of Haute-Normandie could go back to the authors of the flight.
The three men immediately confessed to the crime. They will soon have to answer for “flight in a meeting” in the Criminal Court of Evreux. The collector must also appear but it does not recognize the “concealment flight meeting,” according to Paris-Normandie . Pending trial, some of their possessions were seized, worth 700,000 euros. The story does not say yet who could have buried such a treasure.
As for the law, it considers that treasure belongs half to the one who discovered and the another to the landowner.
