本周早些时候，比利时东弗兰德斯地区一处房产的建筑工人在进行排水管道施工时，于地下室墙壁内发现了价值约900万欧元的黄金宝藏[1]。这批宝藏由金条和金币组成[1]，目前已由警方转移至安全地点[1]。
参与发现的工人Kobe回忆道："起初我以为是一欧元硬币，但后来我们看到了一块金粒，那时我们才意识到这是更大的东西"[1]。网站管理员Mario则表示："900万欧元——你根本无法隐藏这笔财宝"[1]。
根据比利时法律，失主有五年时间来认领这笔财宝[1]。如果无人认领且与犯罪无关，这笔黄金将在发现者与房产所有者——慈善机构CAW Oost-Vlaanderen——之间平分[1]。
Construction workers in East Flanders, Belgium uncovered approximately €9 million in gold while conducting drainage work at a residential property earlier this week [1]. The treasure, consisting of gold bars and coins, was sealed within the basement walls of the house [1].
One of the workers, Kobe, described the moment of discovery: "At first I thought they were €1 coins. But then we also saw a gold nugget lying there. That's when we realised it was something bigger." [1] The gold has since been secured by police [1].
According to Belgian law, the property's owner—a charity organization called CAW Oost-Vlaanderen—and the construction workers have a five-year window for the original owner to claim the treasure [1]. Should no legitimate claim be made and the gold is not deemed connected to criminal activity, the hoard will be divided equally between the finder and the property owner [1].
