Frontex and customs officers have intercepted a vehicle at the Tabanovce border crossing in North Macedonia and seized over €120,000 in hidden cash. You can cross the border, but you can't outsmart customs. Declare it or lose it! @euwithmk.bsky.social

💰 Busted with cash! Do you know why it is illegal to move more than EUR 10,000 across an EU border without declaring it? Cash remains a preferred tool for criminal networks because it is anonymous, easy to carry, and can be used to fund activities such as drug trafficking.
