Musulin, the honest thief
by Milota Sidorova


Hero or Anti-hero, but at least honest thief that is French Tony Musulin. Former armored van driver stole in this work car around 11 million euro last year, rushed through the country and with the back full of money and the police behind his feet, he managed to get into money kingdom of Monaco last year. For season, Musulin became the popular figure of anti-hero, his fans created several Facebook groups. Last months, this average French citizen was transferred back to France, although his lawyer objected his transfer was illegal. Now, Musulin faces the trial for theft which can bring him 3 more years in the jail. There's a question behind Musulin's motive – what coul! d bring average working man with less than average payments to make such illegal action? He answer was clear, tragic yet comic at the same time. He was angry on his boss. For a long time he'd been underpaid, earning around 2,000 euro per month. He also claimed he was “no Robin Hood”, the label media and French public gave him. His intention was to solve personal problems. Musulin stole the van with more than 11 million and made it to Monaco. 9 million sum was found in the locked garage within two weeks. The fate of more than 2 million is still unknown. Musulin is facing also insurance fraud for his car. This underpaid worker managed to buy new Ferrari that created suspicion between lawyers. Still, this whole case is just making smile upon one's face, because Musulin didn't refused the objections and charges, and honestly he agreed it was a bad thing. Although he said he was not a hero, he was certainly more courageous than a lot of politicians, CEO and those ! upper ten thousands VIP persons ruling this country. Imagine t! hem stan ding in front of court because of their new Ferrari, house of last financial fraud.
