Drug money? Money to launder into $EC?
If this money was brought into the country from overseas and exceeded $10,000, it would have had to be reported to immigation. Was this done?
Good question!
good question Mr David
Im pretty sure the article said that the money belonged to other residents in the dwelling house. i wonder if you know how much residents occupied the house.
