As per a statement of the ministry of interior the border police at the Islam Kala port in Herat successfully intercepted an individual attempting to smuggle a substantial amount of money out of the country. The suspect was apprehended while trying to transport $34,500 in cash, raising concerns about illicit financial activities and the enforcement of border security.
