Fines for Excess Cash in Malta Declared Unconstitutional

Money Laundering tamir - June 25, 2024

The Constitutional Court of Malta has declared a regulation imposing a 55% penalty on travelers carrying over €10,000 in cash unconstitutional. The court argued that this regulation effectively reduced the judicial process to a "mechanical exercise" devoid of judicial discretion. The case arose from an incident three years ago involving Igaale Ali Muuse, who was arrested at Malta Airport with €165,548 in cash.
