Red Cross gifted gold bars left on a Swiss train
The Lucerne Public Prosecutor's Office will hand over 3.7 kilos of gold to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

"Gifted" is a bit of a stretch. They were found in a package addressed to the Red Cross. Rightfully delivered, perhaps.
I think that's just the conclusion of the state, not that the state gifted them. The Swiss Government isn't going to toot their own horn about giving 200k to an organization with a 3 billion operating budget that they already give around 200 million to every year.
It also benefits the Swiss to never investigate any gold too closely. Might end up finding a chunk of tooth.
The article says that they literally did investigate it though.

Yes, you're right. Headline probably translated because it's not a clear way to say this. Also was surprised that gold bars are only 2K each, but I see the common size is 1 oz and they aren't very big....
