Two Turkish citizens were stopped on the A99 near Aschheim near Munich. They had 18 kilos of gold with them - melted down into mysterious bars.

Gold bars usually have a stamp that indicates the weight and alloy and thus the gold content. But these bars were cast in a garage or basement by amateurs, each shimmering with a different color. Are these parts of the Big Maple Leaf gold coin stolen in Berlin in 2017? It cannot be ruled out “100 percent” that the gold discovery near Munich contains part of the Manching treasure “with a high degree of probability” Munich police spokesman: “As far as possible, every possible connection will be examined as a possible connection as a result of the gold find’“. The gold treasure is connected to a crime. On November 22, 2022, burglars stole 483 Celtic gold coins as well as a cast cake weighing 217 grams from the Celtic-Roman Museum in Manching near Ingolstadt. The treasure was over 2,100 years old.
