Malaysia's customs officials have apprehended a male suspect after Thailand's customs seized approximately RM870,000 hidden in a vehicle at the Sadao border checkpoint last Friday. A Thai customs spokesperson stated that the seizure resulted from intelligence and investigation. Customs officials from the Customs Control Department, the State Customs Office, and Sadao Customs inspected the registered Thai vehicle and discovered the concealed cash.

The estimated sum of 7.1 million baht was smuggled under Section 166 of the Thai Customs Act 2017, according to the Bernama. He added that the owner of the cash may face charges under Section 242 in conjunction with Section 252 of the same Act. According to them, the case has been handed over to Sadao Customs for further action.

It is clear that Thai authorities are continuing their investigations, including the purpose of the cash being brought to Thailand.
