MEXICO CITY – A package of baby nappies yielded an unlikely load in Mexico on Friday, according to the defence ministry: nearly half a million dollars in cash.
Soldiers conducting a routine check “found in a tractor-trailer a packet of diapers (nappies) containing 490,300 dollars,” the ministry said in a statement. It said that the cash was likely a stash of narco-dollars destined for money-laundering, as the truck had come from Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state in Mexico’s northwest, a region known for trafficking by major drug cartels.The driver of the truck was arrested.Nampa-AFPIt said that the cash was likely a stash of narco-dollars destined for money-laundering, as the truck had come from Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state in Mexico’s northwest, a region known for trafficking by major drug cartels.The driver of the truck was arrested.Nampa-AFP
