An original auction was organized in Marseille. 210 properties of criminals and delinquents in the south of France were sold.
In Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), a luxury watch is sold for 54,000 euros. The object is very rare, made in white gold and meteorite. Confiscated by the courts, it was bought by a young man from Marseille. The sale is unprecedented in Marseille. 210 lots are auctioned. These are only goods seized from criminals or delinquents in the south of France. New buyers are not disturbed by the origin of the products.
“It makes it possible to fill the coffers of the State with goods that have been ill-gotten”, says a man. This is indeed the purpose of the public agency behind this sale. The funds raised will allow, among other things, to be used for the compensation fund for victims. In total, this Marseille auction will have raised more than 800,000 euros.
