2 Japanese men caught with 19-M yen

-

Customs officials at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) confiscated 19.3 million Japanese yen (approximately P8 million) from a Japanese national who failed to declare the money he brought into the country Tuesday.

Customs collector Tess Roque said she received information from the Anti-Money Laundering Council regarding incidents involving the alleged importation of 10 million to 15 million yen each time Shimokawa Tomohide and Ramon Akagishi arrive in the country.

At about 2 p.m. Tuesday, Tomohide and Akagishi arrived at NAIA and were asked if they had anything to declare. Akagishi said he only has 5,000 yen while Tomohide brought out P4,000 from his pocket.

Customs examiners found a package with bundles of undeclared foreign currency in Tomohide’s hand-carried luggage.    – Rudy Santos
