Johannesburg - The South
African Revenue Service
confiscated $9.3m at Lanseria
Airport, northwest of
Johannesburg, from two
Nigerians and an Israeli, it said on Sunday. "The passengers' luggage was
searched after customs
officials detected irregularities
in the luggage," spokesperson
Adrian Lackay said. "The money was detained as it
was undisclosed/undeclared
and above the prescribed legal
limit for bringing cash into the
country." The incident happened on
Friday. He said the money was being
kept safe by the SA Reserve
Bank. The matter has been handed
over to the police and the
national investigations unit
would investigate. National police spokesperson
Solomon Makgale confirmed
that the matter had been
reported to the unit. He said the money was seized
and the matter handed over to
the Hawks. According to a local
newspaper, the men were
going to use the money to buy
weapons. The passengers were
reportedly acting on behalf of
the Nigerian intelligence
service, but this could not be
confirmed by Nigerian
authorities. The group also had documents
confirming they were in South
Africa to buy arms. It was unclear whether the
Israeli passenger was an
intelligence operative or an
arms dealer, according to the
report. The National Conventional
Arms Control Committee,
which approves permits for
the import and export of
weapons, was not aware of
any applications made for such a transaction. The committee reportedly
confirmed that it was aware
of the incident but did not
want to comment further.http://m.news24.com/nigeria/World/News/93m-confiscated-from-Nigerians-in-South-Africa-20140914
