What happens if there is evidence pointing to possible money laundering or funding of a terrorist organisation?

In the majority of cases, it will not be possible to clarify doubts arising from a traveller’s declaration, or other indications of possible money laundering or financing of terrorism, on the spot. Consequently, the customs agents will forward the case to the customs investigation office which will then conduct further inquiries to resolve the matter.

If the matter cannot be clarified within a reasonably short time, the cash and/or equivalent means of payment in question will be confiscated. Where there is evidence that points to money laundering or financing a terrorist organisation, the customs investigation office will initiate preliminary proceedings.
