Three Turkish nationals have been arrested at
the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) with USD 350,000 (about
Sh30 million) which they had not declared.
The three were arrested as they were boarding the East African Airlines scheduled to leave Nairobi for Somalia at 6am.
The
three men have claimed they work for the Red Cross in Turkey but could
not explain why they failed to declare the amount to the Customs
authorities.
They are currently being questioned by the
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Antiterrorism Police Unit and the
National Intelligence Service (NIS) officers.
