Authorities at Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport arrested Friday a Russian national, identified as R.D., attempting to leave the country with $90,000 of forged currency.
The suspect, who was heading to Russia, placed the counterfeit notes in women's stockings that were packed tightly around his waist in the form of a belt.
He was referred to the Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Repression Bureau for further questioning.
