When it comes to "Dubai", what is the first word you think of?
Perhaps the answer for many people will be: "Tuhao".
It is also a lot of natural cost to travel to such a country that symbolizes luxury.
Recently, a Chinese friend fell bad as a result, "lost" millions of yuan!
1. Chinese people travel to Dubai, and the money is gone before they get on the plane.
Here's the thing.
Not long ago, a Chinese man, let's call him Big Brother Guo, planned to go to Dubai, Saudi Arabia for a holiday.
At the thought of the seven-star sailboat hotel presidential suite,
A lavish shopping trip,
An inexhaustible specialty of food.
All this needs money, Lao Guo just wants to go, can not aggrieved oneself.
So he went to the bank to pick up cash, put it in his suitcase, and set foot on the trip to Dubai with great expectation.
As a result, he never thought that before the journey began, he met a marijuana annoyance.
At the time of the check-in, his luggage was inspected and the customs officers informed him of the opening-of-the-box inspection.
It turned out that when the customs officers were scanning checked luggage, they found a large number of "suspicious items" in Mr. Guo's suitcase. They opened it and found it full of cash!
After the customs personnel count, this huge amount is 500,000 euros, about 3.9082 million yuan!
Moreover, before carrying the huge amount of money out of the country, Mr. Guo did not make any declaration to the Customs, nor could he prove the legitimate source of the huge sum of money, which seriously violated the customs regulations and was illegal to carry a large sum of money out of the country.
As a result, the Customs decided to temporarily confiscate the 500000 euros, handed over the Chinese man's information to the police for review, and accusation on suspicion of capital laundering law and attempted money laundering.
But fortunately, the "kind" customs officers allowed Mr. Guo to continue his trip, but gave him only 1000 euros in cash as the basic funding for his trip.
In this way, Guo, who used to be preparing for a luxury trip to Dubai with millions of cash, can only travel to Dubai with 1000 euros (7600 yuan).

The news also came to the local media of Spain, and China Overseas Chinese also reported.

In fact, Guo's "tragic experience" is entirely due to himself. In any country, there are clear law rules for cash to enter and exit, and Guo's move out of the country with 500000 euros is clearly a matter of knowing the law, and getting caught is only a matter of time.
At present, the Chinese man has not only been temporarily detained for 500000 euros in cash, but also faces anti-money laundering censorship by the police. It is estimated that the trip to Dubai will be difficult to have a good time.
2, this mistake is a disaster area for Chinese people!
In fact, it is nothing new for Chinese to be caught in customs with excess cash, but there are always Chinese people who fall into this hole one after another.
A Chinese sister was intercepted by the customs because he helped his father bring two cashed envelopes back to Canada.
Xiao Dong said she thought the two envelopes contained only $9700. She didn't know her father was "old and confused" and put an extra $3000 in them, causing the total to exceed the customs limit of 10000, so she was thought to be suspected of money laundering and terrorism financing.
Customs not only confiscated her cash, but also cancelled her Nexus fast entry card, blacklisted her as an "untrusted passenger," and asked her to go to the small black house for separate inspection every time she went through customs.
Earlier, the Italian customs also caught two Chinese men who had gone to Spain to buy a house with huge amounts of cash.
They brought 300000 euros to "break through the customs", but did not expect to be discovered by the hot customs, and finally not only the money was withheld, but also left a bad record, really lost the husband and the army.
This also happens from time to time in Australia. At the height of the Australian housing market, many Chinese entered the country with a whole box of cash to buy a house and were caught by the airport customs.
Yang, manager of (AC Property), a Melbourne-based real estate sales site, also said some Chinese buyers bought house with boxes of cash.
Now, the behavior of these Chinese has led to Australian customs, airport investigation is also more stringent.
The move has also attracted the attention of the Australian Inland Revenue Department, and in order to prevent suspicious funds from being remitted to Australian accounts for property purchases, banks will review the tax payments made by home buyers at their tax sites.
