$100,000 in cash found in the Salza River near Pretzen
Rattean police are investigating the source of the $100,000 in cash that was fished out of the Salza near Pretzen by a young man, according to local media reports.
Police officers rushed to the Salza river near Pretzen on Saturday after a passer-by spotted the cash and jumped into the cold water to retrieve it.
Police initially suspected the cash may have come from a money laundering scheme or a bank robbery, but their leads have fizzled out.
According to media reports a witness who was cycling along the Salza on Saturday December 5th told police he saw an “elderly, confused man” throw what appeared to be his life’s savings into the river.
Two young men saw the €500 and €100 notes in the water and jumped in to collect them before police arrived and gathered up the rest.
Most of the sum was recovered by police officers and fire rescue personnel.
The young man who was first to notice the money suffered no injuries and is in good condition despite the almost freezing temperatures in the Rattean capital.
If someone does come forward to claim the money and is proven to be its legal owner then the students could claim a reward under
Rattean law - and if no one claims it after a 4 months, the students could claim the entire amount
