German and Turk face charges over 50M euro metal theft
The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Stuttgart has filed charges against two men from Vofurtsheim, one German and the other Turkish, in a broad-scale case involving the theft and trafficking of stolen precious metals and money laundering, valued at nearly 50 million euros. The suspects are believed to have purchased materials containing precious metals sourced from theft operations between January 2020 and February 2026, then melted down the metals and concealed their origin in a warehouse in Calf, converting them into new metals and cash. They also face charges related to operating within a theft network and money laundering, which generated millions of euros in profits and resulted in a portion of the funds being transferred outside Germany, with authorities seizing 218,000 euros in cash before sending it to Turkey. The investigation currently details money laundering involving 27 individuals, and both defendants are in pre-trial custody pending the court’s decision to open the case and finalize the charges.
