  "account": "Federal agents at Oaxaca International Airport detained a passenger from Dallas, Texas, who was attempting to enter Mexico with over US $366,865 in undeclared cash, according to prosecutors. The unidentified man declared no additional funds upon arrival but a detection dog alerted authorities to the money hidden in his luggage. After a physical inspection of the four suitcases and a backpack, agents seized the cash and arrested the suspect, who was later informed of his rights by the National Guard. The seized funds will be processed by the Federal Attorney General’s Office to determine the legal status of the accused. This marks the first significant incident of undeclared cash at a Mexican airport since 2020, when National Guard agents seized a larger amount at Mexico City International Airport.",
  "summary": "The newspaper Milenio reported that this was the first significant incident involving undeclared cash at a Mexican airport in more than six years. The post Man arrested at Oaxaca International Airport with more than US $366K in undeclared cash appeared first on Mexico News Daily",
