Thousands of Euros distributed by homeless people to passersby in Italy

An unhoused man in the Italian city of Belluno distributed thousands of euros in 50-euro notes to passersby. The police recovered 4,390 euros, which were confirmed to be genuine currency. The origin of the money remains unclear, and no potential owner has come forward. The man, an Iraqi national living in a tent for several months, refused repeated social service offers for food and shelter. Authorities are attempting to communicate with him, though he speaks limited Italian. The local social services are involved, and the city’s social affairs council suggested using the funds for the man’s support if legally permissible. The situation is currently under review by relevant authorities.
