71-Year-Old Bosnian Man Detained at Rostock Port with €42,100 in Cash
Federal police at the Port of Rostock recently intercepted a 71-year-old Bosnian man with insufficient travel documents and a substantial sum of cash. The man, who had arrived from Sweden, could not account for the origin of the €42,100 found on him.
Upon inspection, officers discovered 42,100 euros in cash. The man provided no explanation for this amount, leading federal police to suspect money laundering. As a result, they secured 41,500 euros pending further investigation.
The man, a 71-year-old Bosniak, had entered Germany via the port of Rostock from Sweden. However, he did not possess a valid residence title, making his entry and stay illegal. Authorities initiated criminal proceedings against him for illegal entry, illegal stay, and money laundering.
The man was subsequently ordered to leave for Sweden, which he complied with. The investigation into the source of the cash and the full extent of his alleged crimes continues.
