MCALLEN, Texas — A grand jury in Texas has indicted a passenger over nearly $278,000 found in throw pillows and stuffed toy animals on a bus bound for Mexico
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday announced 33-year-old Jeanette Irazema Barraza-Galindo of Monterrey, Mexico, has been indicted on charges of bulk cash smuggling.
The indictment, returned Tuesday, involves the March 1 seizure of undeclared cash by officers who searched a bus going through the Hidalgo Port of Entry.
No information was available on an attorney for Barraza, who remains in custody without bond, pending arraignment.
Conviction on a charge of bulk cash smuggling carries a maximum five-year prison term, plus a fine of up to $250,000 and forfeiting the confiscated money.
