A 56-year-old man, an employee of a Burgundy wine house, is suspected of having stolen more than 7,000 bottles, worth half a million euros, from his employers. He was arrested and placed under judicial supervision until his trial, scheduled for August 6.
Investigators then discovered several cellars and thousands of bottles, among which the employee's boss found his own. The latter would have accumulated his loot over around fifteen years, also lining the walls of another cellar at his mother's house.
