ROME – A businessman from Bosnia and Herzegovina was arrested this week at a border crossing between Switzerland and Italy for trying to illegally transfer 145,000 euros across the border.
The money was hidden in the car and customs officials managed to find it, according to Italian media reports, and he was subsequently fined.
According to media reports, it all happened at the Como-Brugda tourist border crossing and the person involved is a 35-year-old businessman from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Originally from Switzerland with a registered residence. That is, he was in a car with his compatriots when they entered Italian territory with Swiss license plates.
Although he immediately said that he had nothing to report, his nervousness betrayed him and aroused the suspicion of the staff. They immediately decided to search the car and found 144,000 euros and 1,030 francs in two vacuum-sealed bags in the personal luggage. Up to 50% of the funds exceeded the legal transfer limit, which is why this part of the funds was confiscated. His sentence has not yet been determined, and he is expected to be fined between 30% and 50% of the illegal amount he tried to transfer.
