Mystery still surrounds teen's €15,000 school cash giveaway

Authorities remain baffled over the case of a teenage student who arrived at school with €15,000 and distributed it among classmates in €50 and €100 bills. Police are pursuing multiple leads to trace the origin of the cash, which the student reportedly doled out to several peers, with some receiving over €500 each. The incident, which took place on October 30, has prompted an extensive investigation involving statements from students, parents, and teachers.

According to Stella Markou of 24News, the case, which revolves around minors, is being handled delicately, according to police, who emphasized their cautious approach to protect those involved. Authorities were first alerted to the incident by the school’s principal, who had received initial reports about the unusual handout.

The student at the center of the investigation initially claimed that his elder brother, who also attends the school, had given him the money. However, a new theory emerged that the cash belonged to the boy’s father and was allegedly hidden outside near the family’s home. As investigators continue to search for answers, a third story has surfaced, with the student reportedly saying an uncle entrusted him with the money for safekeeping.

Adding a twist to the puzzle, it is rumored that the student may not have initially intended to share the money. Reports suggest he might have felt compelled to hand out cash when classmates noticed he was carrying a large sum. However, this angle has not been officially confirmed by the police, who have refrained from commenting on unverified claims.

As authorities work to untangle the web of explanations, they are leaving open the possibility of additional leads and theories coming to light. The case, drawing interest and speculation, remains unresolved as investigators dig deeper into the unusual circumstances surrounding the boy and his sudden generosity.
