Vietnam Customs to Prosecute Illegal Transport of Money From Cambodia

Vietnam's Dinh Ba Customs Branch will prosecute an individual charged with illegally transporting currency across the border from Cambodia to Vietnam, the state-run CustomsNews reported Sept. 15. The case was transferred to the Investigation Policy Agency of the Tan Hong district policy to continue the investigation per the country's regulations, the report said. The defendant, Trinh Linh Em, was stopped at the Dinh Ba international border gate, where border agents found piles of money that the man said amounted to nearly $14,000, from cockfights in Cambodia. The Dinh Ba Customs Branch said Linh Em brought the money into the country without declaring it.
