Agents of the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) announced the arrest of three men in an operation with national district prosecutors. In a press release, the DNCD says the men were two Chinese nationals and a Colombian who were in possession of US$999,800 in cash. They were arrested while inside two parked vehicles near Av. 27 de Febrero after having been suspected of carrying out an illicit transaction.
While in the Dominican Republic it is not illegal to carry cash, the person possessing the money may be required to prove to the authorities that the funds are from a legal source.
