Traveler Smuggling 3,860 Euros via Algiers
An Algerian traveler was detained at Houari Boumediene Airport while attempting to board a flight to Istanbul for possessing 3,860 euros and 1,800 Turkish lira without official customs declaration or bank documentation. The defendant claimed he intended to declare the amounts to customs and that some of the money belonged to his cousin, but he did not provide any evidence to support this. The court convicted the defendant of violating currency transfer laws and sentenced him to one year in prison along with a fine equal to twice the amount seized. The defense requested the recovery of 260 euros of the confiscated funds on the grounds that he had a bank statement.
