Pakistan Customs officials have seized a large quantity of foreign currency from a woman passenger at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport.
The woman was preparing to travel to Dubai when customs officials stopped her at the international departure area. She was scheduled to board Emirates flight EK-601.
Officials searched her luggage before she could proceed with her journey. During the search, they recovered several foreign currencies in cash.
Customs Seizes Multiple Foreign Currencies
The seized money included $33,600, €300, £2,570 and AED19,815. According to the available details, the combined value of the currencies was approximately $42,728.
The seized foreign currency was valued at around Rs11.8 million in Pakistani currency.
Customs officials reportedly became suspicious after the woman provided conflicting information about the foreign currency in her possession. Consequently, they conducted a more detailed examination of her luggage.
The search then led to the recovery of the different currencies, which officials subsequently took into custody.
Woman Faces Investigation Over Currency Transfer
Customs officials have launched an investigation into the alleged attempt to take the foreign currency out of Pakistan.
According to the information provided, the woman frequently travels abroad and has an association with a private jewellery business. These details have emerged in connection with the ongoing inquiry into the seized currency.
However, the investigation is continuing as customs authorities examine the circumstances surrounding the money and its intended transfer abroad.
Case Registered Under Customs Act
Pakistan Customs has also registered a case against the woman under relevant provisions of the Customs Act, 1969.
Further legal proceedings have been initiated following the seizure at the Karachi airport. Officials are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the foreign currency and the woman’s alleged attempt to take it abroad.
The seizure comes after customs officials intercepted the passenger during international departure checks. Meanwhile, the case will proceed through the relevant legal process as authorities continue examining the matter.
