The
case began on Saturday, when the
suspects, a female surnamed
Herrera-Acuña (67), another woman
surnamed Wesson-Herrera (40), and a
male surnamed Wesson-Herrera (52),
arrived in the country via
international flight from New Jersey,
USA. During
a routine luggage inspection,
Migration Police officers at Juan
Santamaría International Airport (SJO)
in Alajuela Province discovered hidden
packages in their suitcases. After
a more extensive search of the luggage
and the traveler's belongings,
officers discovered packets containing
cash hidden in their suitcases, as
well as additional envelopes with more
cash taped to their bodies.
According to
the
authorities,
these
individuals
did not report
the cash to
officers. They
also failed to
demonstrate
the money's
lawful origin.
The money was confiscated as evidence in this case, and the suspects were handed over to Interpol officials, who took them to the Public Ministry in Alajuela.
When
people enter
or exit the
country, they
must declare
any cash or
securities
worth $10,000
or more, or the
equivalent in
another
currency,
according to
Aeris, the
company
managing SJO
airport.
The
Aeris webpage
lists the
guidelines for
entering and
leaving the
country.
