Accused of Swiping Celtic Treasures in Bavarian Manching

The swiped gold coins represented the biggest Celtic gold hoard discovered in the 20th century, with an estimated age of around 100 BC. Approximately 3.74 kilograms of gold valuables were uncovered, but only around 500 grams were found in a liquefied state, leaving one suspect under suspicion, while the remainder of the loot remains elusive. The four suspects were arrested in July of the previous year and have been detained since then. All four individuals are presently shut tight, unwilling to speak up.

There's a belief among investigators that the German suspects in question are seasoned felons, linked to a criminal organization hailing from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. They're suspected of disrupting telecommunication and internet distribution boxes or facilities before committing burglaries, thus disabling security alarms and facilitating their getaway.

Moreover, the four detainees are implicated in theft cases in as many as 30 different instances, such as break-ins at supermarkets, licensing offices, fast-food joints, and gas stations.

The German suspects, linked to a criminal organization, are being handled by the prosecution due to their involvement in numerous theft cases. The prosecution is currently building a case against them, as they are suspected of committing theft in over 30 different instances.
