Windsor Genova - AHN News Writer

Budapest, Hungary (AHN) - The missing coffin containing the remains of German billionaire Friedrich Karl Flick has been found in Hungary and turned over to Austrian authorities, according to Austria's police.

Austrian and Hungarian authorities have detained six men in Budapest as part of the investigation of the removal of the 441-pound coffin from a mausoleum in Velden in southern Austria in November 2008.

Police did not give more details pending the conclusion of the investigation.

Flick died at age 79 in October 2006. At the time of his death, Forbes magazine ranked him the 94th richest person in the world.

Flick's family, which inherited 5 to 6 billion euros from him, offered a $150,000 reward for the return of the coffin.
