Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Frankfurt sniffer dog catches whiff of hidden cash stash
Does money smell? It seems does to trained sniffing dogs. According to a custom’s spokesperson at Frankfurt international airport, one of the sniffing dogs helped customs officials find nearly a quarter-million euros undeclared cash, almost USD 300,000, just in a few days. The cash was hidden in travelers’ pockets or bags, which were invisible to human eyes but were certainly detectable to the trained dog’s nose.
Travelers in and out of EU countries are required to declare if they are carrying 10,000 euros or more in cash to prevent tax evasion, money laundering, illegal trade, and terrorism. Especially in today’s cashless society, bringing that much cash indeed sounds suspicious. The world may need more dogs to find such hidden cash transportation before international air travels resume after the Covid-19 outbreak.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about how sensitive dogs’ noses are.
