The Directorate General of Customs (DGA) has seized a large amount of money in US dollars and gourdes to a Haitian passenger on a bus from the Metro transport company to Santo Domingo.

The Haitian identified according to his passport as Anis Deuner Olner, was arrested by the DGA and Dominican intelligence agents, in possession of a sum of more than 30,000 US dollars and more than 45,000 gourdes. These amounts were not reported at the Mal Paso border crossing point, whereas the International Anti-Money Laundering Law requires a declaration as soon as the amount transported exceeds $ 10,000.

The money seized has been handed over to the DGA of Jimaní for the corresponding purposes and Anis Deuner Olner will be brought to court for legal action.
