CBP Seized $27 Million Cash
CBP in San Juan Seized $27 Million found inside Boxes Bound to St. Thomas
Release Date: September 1, 2020
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - During a joint investigation between U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico, CBP officers seized Saturday undeclared currency totaling $27 million found inside boxes bound to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
“Legal currency can be transported if properly declared under US law.
Transnational Criminal Organizations seek to conceal proceeds and move it as part of their criminal activities,” indicated Gregory Alvarez, Director of Field Operations in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
“
“We remain committed to working with other federal and local law enforcement partners to detect and deter smuggling attempts throughout the Caribbean.”
During outbound inspections for cargo on board the vessel MV Norma H II Voyage 818, a CBP K-9 alerted on some un-manifested pallets containing home moving boxes destined for St. Thomas.
CBP officers opened one of the boxes and discovered US currency wrapped in vacuum-sealed packages. Further inspection of the pallets revealed a total of (34) cargo boxes containing the rest of the undeclared currency.
CBP seized the currency under failure to declare and bulk cash smuggling laws.
This is an ongoing collaborative High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) investigation being conducted by CBP, the DEA Caribbean Region, HSI San Juan and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.
