During the month of October 2022, Customs Malta seized a total of €51,988 in undeclared cash at Malta International Airport. 

The cash was confiscated in four different cases in which a Russian, two Ukrainians, and a Libyan man were discovered to be carrying large quantities of undeclared cash while travelling to Istanbul. 

All passengers paid a fine after being offered an out-of-court settlement, which they accepted and signed.
