Councilor finds a check for 49 million on the ground and returns it: "Not even a thank you"

A bank draft for 49 million euros.

It was found by a city councilor of Lecce, Andrea Guido, in one of the busiest streets of the city, viale Lo Re, near the headquarters of an express courier . The politician, thinking it was a lost receipt, picked it up and discovered that it was instead a cashier's check issued by a foreign bank for the astronomical sum of 49 million euros.

In short, thanks to the owners of the shop who knew who had lost it, the owner, a wealthy building contractor from Salento, was immediately notified while he was on his way to the police to report its loss.

He never had any doubts about what to do, says Guido, not hiding a hint of disappointment at not even receiving a thank you. The entrepreneur "knows that I found him again - he told Corriere della Sera - but I didn't even receive a thank you. I'm a little sorry, receiving a "thank you" is always nice. But it's positive to know that there are investors who are aiming for our territory".
