<\/div>\n

A Slovak citizen travelling on a Kaliningrad\u2013Moscow train was found carrying a large sum of undeclared cash at the Hudogai checkpoint on the Lithuanian-Belarusian border.<\/p>\n

During an oral interview, she told customs officers that she was carrying less than $3,000 in cash. However, a search revealed that the actual amount was 17 times higher.<\/p>\n

Euros, Polish zlotys, Russian roubles and Ukrainian hryvnias were concealed in her personal belongings and in the pockets of the clothes she was wearing.<\/p>\n

A criminal case has been opened. The money, equivalent to approximately $53,000, has been seized pending a court decision.<\/p>\n

It is worth recalling that cash exceeding the equivalent of $10,000 must be declared when crossing the border. Failure to declare such funds may result in criminal liability.<\/p>\n
