A young man is in court in Göttingen, because he is said to have sold gold-plated metal bars to a bank as solid gold. According to the prosecution, in 2016, the then 18-year-old succeeded in selling Sparkasse Göttingen metal in ten cases, which he had previously acquired on the Internet. He had collected about 300,000 euros for his counterfeit gold from the bank.
The prosecution accuses the today 21-year-old commercial fraud. The prospective professional driver conceded the allegations before the Juvenile Court on his defender flat. "There is no denying that it was so," said the lawyer.
Why the savings bank of the counterfeit gold frauds noticed for a long time, was not addressed before the district court so far. After the allegations became known last year, the Bundesbank announced that it was not aware of any comparable case. As a rule, banks bought gold only with reservations and first checked it before paying out the equivalent value.
The co-accused mother of the trainee did not appear to the trial. You should have tried in one case, the Sparkasse also worthless bars to sell gold. The court imposed a penalty order of 2100 euros on the woman at the request of the prosecutor. The trial of the young man is expected to continue in mid-November.
