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. The criminal investigators are now looking for where the gold could have come from. Is the stolen gold treasure from Manching in there? 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. 18 gold nuggets with a total weight of 29 grams were confiscated, which had probably been melted from the Manching treasure. But the largest part of the treasure is still missing. There is also still no trace of the 100 kilo “Big Maple Leaf’ coin that was stolen from Berlin’s Bode Museum in 2017.
