A Russian national with undeclared 800,000 euro (over $1 million) in cash, was held late on Thursday, Nov 22, at the Riga International Airport, airport spokeswoman Sarmite Rinmane said, according to RIA Novosti.
The cash was found in the man’s cabin luggage during the security check for a flight to St. Petersburg.
The spokeswoman did not specify whether the Russian national was detained and if any charges were laid against him.
Under the EU customs rules, all people crossing the EU border must fill in a customs declaration if they carry more than 10,000 euro ($13,000) in cash.
