Millions of Euros disappear from Czech plane

Czech police are investigating the disappearance of a quarter of a million Euros from a Czech Airlines plane last week. According to the Czech daily Mladá fronta Dnes, the airplane stopped off in Prague en route to the Estonian capital Tallinn from London. The plane was carrying billions of Euros in cash, as part of a routine trip from a money-printing facility. Investigators are looking into whether somebody working at the airport managed to pocket a bag containing a quarter of a million Euros during the plane’s stop-over in Prague. However, investigators are also looking at the possibility that the money may have been stolen in Estonia, where the plane landed shortly thereafter – its cargo was later returned to Prague after the missing money was not accounted for by the Estonian authorities.
