In a surprising situation, a briefcase containing 64,000 euros in banknotes in poor condition appeared abandoned just outside the door of the Hospital Sant Antoni Abat de Vilanova i la Geltrú in the Catalan capital.
Workers at the center discovered the briefcase in the morning and, not knowing of its contents, decided to put it away.
Towards the afternoon, after several hours passed without anyone claiming the briefcase, they finally decided to open it and found a staggering amount of money.
The bills were damp and in poor condition, but what attracted even more attention was a note that accompanied them, indicating that they were a donation to the hospital.
Faced with this unusual situation, those responsible for the center and the Alt Penedès-Garraf Health Consortium quickly alerted the Mossos d’Esquadra, who opened an investigation and took custody of the briefcase.
Although suspicions of illicit origin are initially ruled out, an investigation is underway to confirm the veracity of the donation.
Abandoned briefcase with 64,000 euros: a movie story
The case of this briefcase abandoned in the Hospital Sant Antoni Abat was a real event. The workers arrived at their workplace in the morning and found a black wallet at the front door.
Not knowing what to do, they decided to take her inside the building.
It was only after several hours with no claims that they finally opened the briefcase and found the surprise of 64,000 euros in banknotes.
The accompanying note made it clear that this was a donation to the hospital.
Although the details of who made this generous donation are not yet known, police sources have initially ruled out an illicit origin of the money, suggesting that the donation will be cash.
This unexpected event coincides with the comprehensive renovation plans that the Hospital Sant Antoni Abat de Vilanova has planned.
The goal is to remodel the surgical block, the emergency area and the dialysis unit, as well as other socio-health units.
In addition, two other hospitals in the area are also scheduled for infrastructure renovations.
Although the Health Department of the Generalitat will invest 48 million euros in these health projects, the aid provided by this mysterious briefcase will not be disregarded.
Especially when it is used for the care of people and the maintenance of a health center that requires changes and reforms necessary to provide better care to patients and users.
Everything seems to indicate that this whole event stems from an altruistic gesture.
Although investigations are still underway to determine the possible origin of the briefcase and the money.
It is a totally unusual event and workers, patients and the community in general are still wondering how the case got to the hospital.
