71-Year-Old Bosnian Detained at Rostock Port in Money Laundering Suspect Case

A 71-year-old Bosnian national was recently detained at the Port of Rostock. The Federal Police suspected money laundering and secured a substantial sum of cash, totalling 41,500 euros, pending further investigation. The man, who was found with insufficient documents, could not provide a credible explanation for the origin of the money.

During a search, officers discovered an additional 42,100 euros in cash, bringing the total to over 83,000 euros. The man was subsequently charged with suspected illegal entry and residence, as well as money laundering. He was given a deadline to leave for Sweden, which he complied with, and did not have a valid residence permit for entry into Germany. The origin of the 41,500 euros seized under suspicion of money laundering remains undisclosed.

Criminal proceedings have been initiated against the man for the suspected offences. The Federal Police continues to investigate the source of the seized funds.
