Customs seize €48k in cash from passenger at Cork Airport

The money was found in the carry-on luggage of a passenger attempting to fly to Amsterdam.

OFFICERS FROM REVENUE’S Customs Service at Cork Airport seized €48,000 in cash from a passenger who was stopped from boarding a flight to Amsterdam yesterday.

The cash was found in the traveller’s carry-on luggage on Friday and was seized by Revenue in accordance with Section 38, Criminal Justice Act 1994 as amended by Section 20, Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Act 2005.

It is understood the passenger is non-Irish national.

At Cork District Court today, officers were granted a three month detention order, in respect of the cash, by Judge Olan Kelleher, in order to carry out further investigations.

    The french are dead right,when the goverment they voted in won’t listen to them,they go and show their frustration,what’s wrong with that?pity us folks over here would rather complain about it via messages on the journal and the likes rather than actually go do something physical about something that we are not happy about.

    @i.Have.it.Me.: So it is great to burn cars and public and private property if you cannot get your way! We need strong government at times to rule for the good of the country. Otherwise we end up with anarchy.

    I am just glad people stopped that disgusting stereotype of French people loving a good auld riot or strike its completely uncalled for.

    Meanwhile in Ireland Gardai gets pushed at protest headline news.
