The Lucerne Public Prosecutor's Office will hand over 3.7 kilos of gold to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Despite a thorough investigation, it has not been possible to determine who owned the 120 bars of gold found in October 2019 on a train from St. Gallen to Lucerne, the Lucerne public prosecutor's office said on Friday. The gold is worth around CHF 200,000 ($226,000).

The ingots were in a white package bearing the words "IKRK Wertsendung" ("ICRC valuable consignment"). The Public Prosecutor's Office assumes that the unidentified owner intended the gold for the ICRC.
