The Ukrainian was planning to fly to Cyprus, and he assured the German customs officials that he only had 300 euros.
At Munich Airport in Germany, a 66-year-old Ukrainian citizen was detained during a random search of passengers’ personal belongings. Thick stacks of 20 and 50 euro bills worth 455 thousand euros were found in the man’s suitcase. The BILD publication reported this on its Telegram channel on Saturday, January 27.
The media said that the Ukrainian was planning to fly to Cyprus. He insisted that he only had 300 euros. Then, in the boarding area, another man approached him and handed him a small suitcase. This made law enforcement officials suspicious.
The customs service told reporters that it is investigating “whether it is money laundering, who it belongs to and where it came from.”
Most likely, the bills will be confiscated in favor of the state.
We remind you that earlier it became known that Switzerland will close the loopholes of the Russian Federation for money laundering.
In addition, the United States blocked the channel for money laundering by Russian oligarchs.
