A shocking discovery was made at Heathrow Airport when £400,000 worth of cash was found in a man's suitcase. The man, identified as 41-year-old Broomand Nasab from Austria, was attempting to board a flight to Turkey when Border Force officials stopped him. Upon further inspection, they also found nearly 11,000 euros in his backpack.
Nasab was immediately arrested and all of the cash was seized by the police. After a thorough investigation, he was charged with one count of money laundering and was due to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Friday. The National Crime Agency defines money laundering as the process of converting illegal funds into seemingly legitimate assets, allowing them to be used or reinvested in criminal activities.
A spokesperson for the National Crime Agency stated, "Following our investigation, a man has been charged with money laundering after attempting to fly out of the UK with £400,000 in cash. In addition, euros were also found in his backpack." The incident occurred on Wednesday at Heathrow Airport, where Nasab was apprehended by Border Force officials.
It was revealed that Nasab, who resides in Austria, was on his way to Turkey when he was stopped by Border Force officials. The cash found in his possession was promptly seized and he was charged with one count of money laundering. He is set to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court today.
