Bag Containing US$1m Found On Plane In Angola

Police in Angola are looking for the owner of a bag containing US$1m (£650,000), which was left on a plane heading for Beijing, China. The pilot found the bag and handed the money over to the authorities. It is illegal in Angola to transport such a large sum of money across international borders.

Police spokesman Aristofanes dos Santos said an investigation has now started to find the origin of the money, which has been confiscated by the state.

Analysts say that anyone who does now claim the money will only be able to recover up to 1.5% of the total amount, while still having to face charges of illegally transporting money.
