Four flight attendants were arrested at Miami airport after retrieving thousands of cash, police say
The airline says it is working on law enforcement for their investigation.
The flight attendants underwent routine customs checks Monday during the arrest, according to a Miami-Dade police report.
A Customs and Border Patrol agent checked Carlos Alberto Munoz-Moyano, who had arrived on an incoming flight from Chile. The agent asked him how much money he had with him, and Munoz-Moyano said he had $ 100, according to the police report.
He later amended the statement and said he had $ 9,000, according to the police report.
The agent report warned other agents, who found other appearances from the same fight with large amounts of money, the report states; no one had a license to carry the cash.
The police report has edited what the flight attendants admitted when interviewed by a Homeland Security Agent.
Agents found $ 7,300 on flight attendant Miaria Delpilar Roman-Strick and $ 6371[ads1] on Maria Isabel Wilson-Ossandon, the report states.
The police did not say whether the fourth flight attendant, Maria Beatriz Pasten-Cuzmar, had any money on her, and it is unclear what role they thought she played.
The four defendants were charged with money laundering by evading reporting requirements and being unauthorized money senders.
CNN has not been able to find lawyers for flight attendants.
It is not clear whether or how much money the other defendants reported bringing into the United States. The total amount seized was $ 22,671.
