Customs officials have found more than Rs.120 million in foreign currencies under a seat of an airplane. Custom sources have stated that this was found in a airplane that was scheduled to fly to Dubai. It is suspected that this currency stock was to be smuggled from Sri Lanka to a foreign country.

 

 

This stock of money was wrapped in carbon papers and was stored in 10 paper bags. However, investigations have started regarding how the money was taken inside the aircraft.
