Money Laundering or a Joke?
Have you ever heard of an arrest for money laundering with only 39 euros involved? No, this is not a joke! Montenegrin police arrested a North Macedonian citizen, F.P. (34), at the Božaj border crossing for attempting to smuggle – wait for it – 39 euros in various denominations. Yes, you read that right, 39 euros!
Details of the Arrest
F.P. was arrested while exiting Montenegro, driving his VW Golf VI. Police officers found the money during a vehicle check, followed by further measures and financial-technical processing of the found cash. He is suspected of committing the criminal offense of money laundering.
Is this really money laundering?
This arrest raises more questions than answers. Is it possible someone tries to launder only 39 euros? Did the police overreact, or is this just the start of a bigger investigation?
What about other cases?
For comparison, in Obrenovac, a 52-year-old man was arrested for threatening someone with a hunting rifle and possessing weapons without a permit. Police found 12 rifle bullets and 40 pistol bullets in his home. This case is more serious, involving weapons and threats, while F.P.’s arrest over 39 euros seems like the police took a tiny amount of money way too seriously.
Why does this matter?
This case casts doubt on the efficiency and purpose of police actions. Are resources wasted chasing minor offenses while bigger criminals roam free? Or is this just a show for the public?
Conclusion
An arrest for money laundering involving 39 euros sounds like a bad joke, but it’s real. Maybe it’s time to question how effective our fight against crime really is and whether justice is truly served properly.
