But after the first positive, positive echo and compliments for Edward, what is now being discussed is a modest amount, 100 francs, which he gave to the finder as a reward, the woman who lost the money.
Thus, readers of 20 minutes. What is holding a lively debate about the case. Some openly agree in their comments that they themselves would keep the money they found, and thus consider doing a criminal act.
But in most comments, Latif wins praise for his honesty, broadcasts albinfo.ch. It is described as a excellent “model” or an honest “ ”, etc. Someone comments: “He certainly deserves my respect. As to the reward amount for the finder, I think that could be more appropriate “.
That's how most people react. They believe the 10 percent reward of the amount found would have been more adequate. Remember: At first, 9.000 francs (was later explained to be 6,200 francs), the 100 - franc reward for the finder was estimated to be only about one percent. Disgraceful “” or “cope” most call this action, the woman who did so, respectively, conveys albinfo.ch. Others say, however, that even 100 francs are a lot of respect.
Police: “The reward for the finder may not be appropriate”
The amount of compensation for the money-finder is not regulated by law in Switzerland. The Swiss Civil Code mentions only one “appropriate reward/decade for the finder”. Andy Theler, spokesman for Thunga's cantonal police, says: “with a total of 6,200 francs, 100 francs may not be the right reward for the genius. Experience shows that the reward in such cases is usually about five to ten percent of the amount found”.
And Edward Latifi himself says: “When I found the money, I didn't think for a second about the reward I could meet as a genius.
I just wanted to get them to the police as soon as possible”. In his opinion, it is not right to send something you found to the police, hoping that you will receive a high reward. He just wanted the money bag back to his owner. Asked about the 100 francs, he says: “even now I don't care if there are 10, 50 or 100 francs, or just, a chocolate as a thank you. I would welcome a personal phone call from the owner”
