Re: money laudering and false declaration of asset

Thank you very much for your email. It is difficult to believe that your friend was not aware that he could not travel with that kind of amount. the money laundering Act provides a certain amount that can be carried for travel expenses. What nationality is your friend? that would determine whether he will be repatriated or not. I hope the foregoing answer your question.
