Somalia seizes USD10mln from UAE Royal Jet
(MENAFN) Somalia seized USD9.6 million from a United Arab Emirates' (UAE) Royal Jet airlines carrier that landed in Mogadishu from Abu Dhabi.
The seizing of the money stashed in three unmarked bags caused an hours-long standoff between airport officials and UAE embassy staff in Mogadishu.
"The seized money is worth $9.6 million. Security agencies are currently investigating where the money came from, where it was going, the individuals involved and the reason for bringing money worth this amount into the country," Somali interior ministry said in a statement late on Sunday.
Relations between Somalia and the UAE are tensed from June last year when Mogadishu resisted pressure to sever ties with Qatar following a Gulf rift.
