Three thieves in Carinthia are said to have landed a mega coup. They are said to have smuggled gold residues from microchip production out of a security laboratory - very close to their own bodies, according to reports. It is said to have taken three years to track down the trio. This could have resulted in a loss of ten million euros.

Infineon in Villach has been under investigation for more than a year. Three employees of a subcontractor were caught stealing gold. The men's job was to clean circuit boards and machine parts with sandblasters and collect the precious metals that were detached and needed in semiconductor production.
