An Italian was arrested at Schiphol with six gold bars in his luggage. According to the Marechaussee, the gold has a value of 365,000 euros. Because the 60-year-old man had no explanation for his valuable cargo, he is suspected of money laundering.
The man was arrested last week after arriving at Schiphol from the Caribbean. According to the Marechaussee, he had made several trips between different countries for this flight.
The police team of the Marechaussee has started an investigation. The Italian suspect is in restriction, which means that he is only allowed to have contact with his lawyer. That is why it is no longer possible to publish about the case, says the Marechaussee.
