He found an envelope of 2,000 euros on the floor of the Náutico car park de Gijón and chose to keep them without alerting anyone or thinking about the owner of the money. The police work allowed identifying and naming the author of this misappropriation, which justified his action by saying that “money has no name.” This individual, a 52-year-old neighbor from Soto del Barco (Asturias), is now facing a fine of three to six months for this minor crime.
The investigation began last December, on Christmas Eve. A 43-year-old woman from Rio de Janeiro had lost a purse with 2,000 euros while paying for his stay in the Náutico car park.
After the complaint, the agents reviewed the surveillance cameras, which recorded how a man collected the purse and kept it among his clothes. The man, once identified, explained that I had been working abroad for a long time and that he was unaware of the legislation in this regard. In the end, it was his wife who gave the two thousand euros to the police station.
