It's a hell of a find!
Who asks sacred questions!
More than 500,000 euros in denominations of 100 euros, 50 and 10 euros were discovered completely accidentally in a suitcase forgotten at the bottom of a cellar of a beautiful Parisian building.
This Tuesday, the police proceeded to count the nest egg.
“It is in progress, specifies a source close to the investigation.
A priori, there is more than 500,000 euros!

She discovers that her cellar was occupied by a stranger
The "find" took place Monday afternoon.
Murielle, 55, Parisian, called the police from the 7th arrondissement police station.
The fifty-year-old explained to them that she had just inherited from her mother an apartment in this opulent building on avenue de la Motte-Picquet, in the chic 7th arrondissement, a stone's throw from Champ-de-Mars.
During August, when Murielle had mandated a real estate agency to estimate and sell this property, the question of a cellar adjoining the apartment arose.
Except the new owner didn't know which one.
So she did some research on her title deeds.
Then she discovered that her cellar was occupied and locked with a padlock.
Murielle then posted in the lobby of the building a message asking the "unscrupulous tenant" to make himself known.
Except that last Monday, a month after his message, no one had come forward.
Murielle therefore decided to bring in a locksmith.
And to give free access to the cellar to the diagnostician charged by the real estate agency to take readings.
It was he who fell on the suitcase!
Investigators specializing in money laundering seized
Police officers from the 7th district immediately contacted the OPJ (judicial police officer) who came and brought the suitcase back to the police station.
The 3rd DPJ (judicial police district) was seized with the technicians of the scientific police.
