KEEP your eyes peeled for
some ready cash on your next
European river cruise.
In what sounds like a literal
case of money laundering, police
in Austria fished more than
100,000 Euros out of the Danube
River last weekend.
The money was spotted by a
young man who immediately
dived into the water to retrieve
the large denomination €100
and €500 notes.
Bystanders thought he was
attempting to commit suicide
and alerted emergency services
which arrived just as he was
pulling some of the cash out of
the water.
A Vienna police spokesman
said investigations so far have
found no criminal act in the area
which could explain such a large
sum of money, and haven’t been
able to track down the owner.
If the search continues to be
unfruitful it could be a case of
finders’ keepers for the man who
discovered the notes on Saturday.
