EUR 745,000 in cash seized at border crossing

@ bizarre

You need to declare money over 10000 euros coming in and out of the country. No bank would take a deposit over 10000 euros without a customs-declaration receipt.


This is standard practise in most of the world.

'The man was given back EUR 10,000 of the sum, since this is the legal limit that travelers leaving Serbia can take with them. '

Communist thief's want a cut from somebody else's property?


'The rest of the money is being temporarily seized, while the man faces minor charges.'

740k euros with interest plus inflation would be a huge theft from the owner. They do not have any evidence that it is not his, per article.

'However, any sum exceeding EUR 10,000 must be reported at border crossings.'


Why is that b92? Why cant you inform the public with the relevant facts?

Two things. First any country you enter or leave you have to declair if you have more then $10,000. If you get the money from the bank they give you a slip that states the money was obtained legally. If he does not have a bank slip then he must have gotten the money illegally. . So they have a right to take all his money and send him on his way. But they are charging him with smuggling and giving him a chance to explain why and where the money has come from. That is the right way to do things. So all you guys bashing Serbia for taking his money... Well they have the right to

If he can prove the money is his and obtained through legal means then he will get it back. Serbia is no different to other countries with respect to this law.

Interesting there is no limit on how much you can bring into the country but there is on how much you can take out.

As I understand it, if you declare large sums when you bring it in, there is no problem about taking it out.

As long as you don't spend it or get mugged in the mean-time of course.

I think he dose not trust the broke banks that can confiscate with the help of the politicians and a stroke of a pen. Walla the money is for the state and their golden pensions and their perks. But silly guy he came to even broker Serbia o well let the lesson sink in boys and girls aaa.
