Money Laundering in the Extreme

Here's a brief from the People's Daily about money laundering. ...or, perhaps, the need to launder money. As your mom always told you, "don't put that money in your mouth because you never know where it's been."

Colombian woman arrested for alleged money laundering

A 31-year-old Colombian has been arrested for trying to smuggle 59,000 U.S. dollars hidden in her vagina and anus, Mexico press reported on Wednesday.

Sandra Venegas was arrested in Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport for carrying 55,000 dollars in her bags.

Guatemalan officials helped Venegas expel another 59,000 dollars from her vagina and anus before she was admitted to the National Civilian Police hospital due to the danger of physical harm from the stash, Guatemalan media said.

Venegas was heading for the Colombian city of Medellin, with a stopover in Panama.

She has to stay at least one more day in hospital for fear that she may be carrying more cash in her intestines.

Guatemala's Interior Ministry said that Venegas could be charged with money laundering.

I don't know if the word laundering is appropriate in the case. That is dirty money.

Does Guatemala even have a law similar to ours?

Man that's a lot of cash to be stickin up your ass, she had to have help with that. $59000 has gotta be 6" thick by 2 1/2"-3" wide & around 8" long.
Big bertha got caught with the goods.
