Airport police in Munich were quoted by the dpa as saying on Saturday that “an employee of German carrier Lufthansa had found the medal and that it has been returned to Mihaljević”.
“Mihaljević flew home on Wednesday and, upon his arrival there, noticed he no longer had the medal. He reported the loss and said he last had it at the airport, which led to a police search there and review of CCTV footage.”
“Police did not say where the medal was eventually found, and it was also unclear whether he had lost it or whether it was stolen,” the dpa said.
