Series of Money Laundering Arrests at Arlanda Airport

Published: 2024-04-21

In a series of incidents highlighting concerns over money laundering, authorities at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm have arrested several individuals across different days.

The most recent arrests involved two men caught with valuable Rolex watches, suspected of gross money laundering.

These arrests follow similar incidents where individuals were apprehended with large sums of cash and luxury watches, marking the third such case in just three days.

Despite the pattern of arrests, Stockholm police clarify that there is no targeted operation behind these actions, suggesting a heightened scrutiny by patrol officers in the airport's departure halls.

Each case involves suspects carrying items or cash worth well beyond the threshold for gross money laundering, raising suspicions of criminal activity funding.
