Italian-Switzerland border checks strike gold

“Italian finance police had a lucky find on Easter Sunday during a routine check of a family car crossing into Switzerland: they discovered gold ingots worth about €4.5 million concealed in false compartments.  The car was driven by a 53-year-old Italian resident of the Swiss canton of Ticino, described by the police as the legal representative of a Swiss company.  He was travelling with his wife and three children, apparently going for an Easter trip.  The man was immediately charged with money laundering. The ingots and the car were seized.  There has been an upsurge in the smuggling of gold from Italy to Switzerland in the past few months.”
