an auction like no other raised more than 800,000 euros

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 fills the state coffers with assets that have been ill-gotten, so I find that very good”, says a man. This is indeed the purpose of the public agency behind this sale. The funds collected will, among other things, be used for the compensation fund for victims. In total, this Marseille auction will have raised more than 800,000 euros.
