There must have been a real gold-rush atmosphere among three men in Carinthia who exploited their position of trust and are suspected of having diverted precious metals for years despite strict security regulations. They have now revealed how they were able to cause the alleged loss of millions.

It's happened again! A few years ago, there was already a security breach at the company in Carinthia, which an employee used to steal gold, platinum and other valuable materials. He was sentenced to three years in prison. Copycat offenders are now also said to have been successful - even for years!
