A Moroccan-Italian man spotted that
an ATM had spontaneously spewed out some 980 euros, picked up
the money and handed it in to the nearest police station in
Naples on Boxing Day, the man's wife said Monday.
Khalil Semmah, 51, married with a son who attends Naples
university, "did not hesitate a second" in handing in the 20 and
50 euro notes, she said.
She said her husband had decided to go for a walk in order not
to disturb his son who was studying for an upcoming exam in
their small flat.
He happened to walk past the ATM and noticed the money lying on
the ground outside it.
Police examined the machine and said it had not been tampered
with or damaged in any way.
They are now trying to establish whether a hack attack made it
disgorge the sum.
