Federal officials are investigating a possible money laundering case after seizing $208,400 dollars in cash from an elderly man going into Mexico.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials told Action 4 News that the incident happened at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge on Sunday.
Customs officers said a 67-year-old Edinburg man was headed into Mexico when he was referred to outbound inspection.
Authorities allegedly discovered 25 packages with $208,400 dollars inside his car.
Customs officers seized the cash because the man did not declare the money.
Federal court records showed no criminal complaints regarding the case had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon.
Customs officers told Action 4 News that the case remains under investigation.
