The amount of € 1,192,000 was identified and bound by its customs auditors AADEat the Castanes border station in Evros.
Specifically, during a car control of Evros from the neighboring country, the AADE auditors identified the amount in three Greek nationals.
The cash was thoroughly hidden in special pockets, tied around their bodies, a method known as a “method of ant”.
Following the seizure of cash, there is a research from the Authority to combat money laundering in order to determine their origin.
If a connection to illegal activity does not occur, AADE binds 25% of the amount and returns the remaining 75% to the holders.
This case is the second largest seizure of Fluid Crossing by AADE, after the seizure of EUR 2,281,000 on 14/8/2016 at the Athens Airport Customs Office “Eleftherios Venizelos”.
