At the time of his arrival, Santrinos Raphaël was carrying with him a sum of cash of approximately 12,000 euros intended to quickly pay expenses related to the project. Questioned by the authorities about the amount of cash he was holding, the artist, little known to the police, admitted to having only 2,000 euros.
Risks of suspicion of drug trafficking
Luckily, it was not searched. Otherwise, Santrinos Raphaël would have been arrested if the police had discovered the 12,000 euros in cash on him, which would have raised suspicions of drug trafficking.
Since his return to Togo, the artist has recalled this experience with nostalgia and imagines the dramatic consequences he could have faced if events had unfolded differently.
