By Dalila Ical: A Belizean business man has been arrested in Honduras for money laundering after he was caught
with over US $16,000, which he failed to declare.
65-year-old August Henry Tabony, who carried a Belizean passport with the number P0291601, was surprised at the Juan Manuel Galvez International Airport in Roatan, Islas de la Bahia, Honduras.
He was caught with US16, 490.00 divided into 69 $100 notes, 17 $10 notes, 34 $50 notes and 386 $20 notes.
Tabony could not justify the large sum of money he carried and consequently is to be transferred to the Public Ministry to be charged for money laundering, reports La Prensa.
