Who’s A Good Boy? Charlie The Customs Dog Finds €38,585 In Undeclared Cash
The Customs Department has seized €38,585 in undeclared cash in two separate incidents at the Malta International Airport.
The cash was discovered by one of the department’s dogs – Charlie.
The department said Charlie first zeroed in on €15,000 at the airport check-in desk, before identifying a second individual with undeclared money at the Departures Lounge.
The man – a Maltese national – was travelling with his wife and daughter, with a thorough search of revealing €22,000 in the man’s jacket, a further €1,230 in his wallet and another €355 in his wife’s purse.
The man agreed to sign an out-of-court settlement and was fined on the spot.
