Extradition Granted to Veltheim Over Kruger Gold Plot
Paris court allowed Ludwig von Veltheim known as Frank von Veltheim to be extradited to England on charges of attempting to extort £16,000 from Solly Joel. The case centers on a vast Transvaal treasure plot tied to Kruger and four buried caches totaling about 5 million dollars. Veltheim, once linked with Barnato and Boer-British intrigue, has a long history spanning Australia, the United States, and Europe before his 1902 London exile.
