Customs officials at Jinnah International Airport intercepted a money laundering attempt and arrested a passenger. Acting on suspicion, customs staff halted a passenger preparing to board an international flight to Doha.
A thorough inspection of the passenger’s luggage led to the discovery of $20,000 in cash. The currency was promptly confiscated, and a First Information Report (FIR) was filed against the individual.
The passenger is currently under investigation to uncover any additional parties involved in the money laundering scheme. Earlier this week, customs officials had also thwarted a currency smuggling attempt at Karachi Airport, seizing foreign currency valued in the millions. The passenger, Moster Uddin, was about to board flight FZ-336 when he was stopped for routine checks.
