LUGANO, Switzerland (AP) - That's one check you hope won't bounce. Italian authorities said Thursday that they had arrested a man who was trying to leave the country on his way to Switzerland with a check made out for $500 million.
The man, identified only as an Italian national, worked for a multinational company, Italy's border police told The Associated Press, confirming local media reports.
The man sought to enter Switzerland earlier this week in a luxury car belonging to his company when he reached the Italian border station of Ponte Chiasso. He didn't declare the check, but it was discovered when guards conducted a routine search of the car. They did not say where they found the check.
Authorities arrested the man and set bail at $100 million. The traveler didn't have that much on him, so authorities confiscated the check instead.
Anyone attempting to leave Italy with more than $14,200 must notify customs and explain where the money comes from and why they are taking it out of the country. Italian investigators are trying to determine the origin of the money and why the man was trying to bring it to Switzerland.
Damn, I knew I misplaced that check...how'd he get it? OK, how do I get it back?
