An Indian national from Spain has been fined for failing to declare a substantial quantity of cash he had on him when arriving in Malta.

Gurvinder Singh, 29, was charged with not declaring the €11,100 he was travelling with after landing in Malta on a flight from Barcelona, Spain last Sunday.

According to the law, any amount over €10,000 has to be declared at airport Customs.

The court, finding Singh guilty, fined him €5,275 and confiscated the €11,100.

Magistrate Joe Mifsud presided.
