The president of the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) reports that two Venezuelans were arrested and are under investigation by the DNCD and Customs Department for attempting to covertly export US$520,000 in cash hidden in two suitcases.
Johnny Alexander Tesorero Hernandez and Jimmy Jose Naranjo Angarita were arrested at Las Americas International Airport. In this case, DNCD president Rafael Ramirez Ferreira said that Customs is in charge of the case, but that the DNCD is also investigating links to drug trafficking. The Venezuelans planned to board an Acerca flight, with a stopover in Aruba, prior to their final destination, Caracas.
This is the second recent case of money confiscated while being irregularly transported. Earlier this month, US$569,412 was confiscated on board a small airplane property of Rafael Luciano Corominas, son of a Supreme Court justice, that arrived from Puerto Rico.
