Agents from the Specialized Corps of Airport Security (CESAC) and other security agencies at Las Americas airport (AILA) have confiscated around EUR79,850 in notes in a range of denominations from a Belgian woman who was trying to bring them into the country without declaring them.
Marik Melissa Piertenelle, 21, arrived at AILA on a Jetair Fly flight from Brussels and the money was found in a false-bottomed suitcase. The Belgian authorities had notified their Dominican counterparts to keep an eye on her, so her luggage was x-rayed, resulting in the discovery of the money and her arrest.
