"I was on duty on July 20 at the baggage inspection area when the defendant's bag raised my suspicions. I told other inspectors at another point to keep track of the traveller after she claimed her baggage, so to search it," the 27-year-old customs officer said.

Another inspector said he was informed that a bag was suspected of containing some banned material. "I kept an eye on the woman until she claimed her bag. I told another female officer to search the traveler's bag. She found a white powder in one bag and an envelope containing a large amount of US dollars. The traveller admitted the cash was hers," the 26-year-old inspector told the prosecutor.
The traveller was then referred to the investigation section.
The Criminal Evidence Department's report showed the bills, seized from the traveler, were all fake.
A verdict is expected on November 28.
