The appellant was intercepted at an airport with over $100,000 in U.S. currency concealed in his luggage and on his person.
The respondent successfully applied for civil forfeiture of the funds under the Civil Remedies Act, 2001.
On appeal, the appellant argued the application judge erred in finding the funds were proceeds of unlawful activity and in denying relief from forfeiture.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the application judge's findings that the appellant was acting as a cash courier and was not an innocent owner entitled to relief.
