A dubious Nigerian man has landed in trouble after he swallowed condoms with $90,000 hidden
inside it.
Nigerian man has been arrested in eastern France after being found with condoms stuffed with
79,000 euros ($90,000) hidden in his stomach, customs officials said Monday.
According to AFP, the yet to be identified Nigerian man was arrested Saturday in Strasbourg, had
another 13,000 Swiss francs (11,900 euros, $13,500) concealed in his clothes, the officials said.
The man told customs agents that he lived in Spain and worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant in
the Balearic Islands. Things went from bad to worse after a sniffer dog also detected marijuana on
the banknotes hidden in his clothing.
That led to an X-ray that revealed the presence of nine condoms stuffed with bank notes in the
man’s intestines.
He has been charged with laundering drug money and lying to customs authorities.
