Boy finds gold worth 9M euros in factory wall
A student in Belgium, aged 18, made a remarkable discovery while renovating: a gold treasure valued at approximately 9 million euros. The treasure included dozens of ingots and gold coins hidden inside a wall in the basement of an old building owned by a wealthy family that operated in the brewing industry between 1899 and 1970. It is believed that the treasure may have been concealed during or after the two World Wars, but some of the dates on the ingots suggest it was most likely hidden after the war, raising questions about the motives behind it. Belgian authorities are investigating the ownership of the gold, as it might be connected to the wealth of the Van Aesch family or could have been hidden for unknown reasons, amid security concerns over potential rights disputes or related crimes. The court is still examining the origin of the treasure, with the possibility that ownership might be transferred to a non-profit organization if no claim is proven. Meanwhile, the workers are awaiting the outcome of their rewards, in what is considered one of the biggest recent gold discoveries in Belgium.
