US$ seized in court case to be deposited in Treasury
Friday 12 March 2021
CLOSE to US$140,000 which was taken from a man accused of trying to smuggle it into the country by hiding it in the lining of a suitcase will no longer be just “lying around.”
Instead it will be deposited in the Treasury to be put in an interest-bearing account with the Central Bank.
The money had been with the property keeper of the Customs and Excise Division, which prosecuted Jesse Vanderpool, who was fined $125,000 when he pleaded guilty to making a false declaration about the cash.
Since Vanderpool was reprimanded and discharged of the charge of trying to smuggle in the cash, Customs appealed, but the magistrate made no order on what to do with the money.
