THOUSANDS OF EURO in cash was seized this morning after being found hidden in a man’s underwear at Dublin Airport.
Some €37,000 was confiscated by Customs officials, who discovered it concealed in the undergarments of a 31-year-old man from Cameroon. He was stopped and searched after arriving on a flight from Charleroi Airport, south of Brussels in Belgium.
The large find was made by officers from Revenue’s Customs Service this morning. The money was seized in accordance with Section 38, Criminal Justice Act 1994 as amended by Section 20, Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Act 2005.
Customs officials were this morning granted a three-month detention order at Dublin Circuit Court, in order to carry out further investigations into the find.

a file photo of a pair of boxers? like we’re unaware of how boxers may look.
Bertie’s NAMA jocks.
Naomi Campbell said she would get out of bed for less than 10 grand. Looks like this guy won’t put on his kaks for less than 35!
Is that 37 grand in your jocks or are you just glad to see me?
maybe they were safety deposit boxers :-/
dirty money
Needs laundering
He was obviously travelling RyanAir with two bags, an incontinent problem and a large appetite. It’s amazing how those extras add up.
Id love to buy a pair of them
Use Berties line.. Oh dat? I wun it in a horse. Mind you it might have been a more discrete way to move money out of St Lukes.

The boxers do not look that expensive 37000.
