It
started when police found
nearly $7.2 million stuffed in eight suitcases at a Panama airport.
Investigators say they suspect the cash, which had been concealed in hidden
compartments in luggage on a flight from Honduras, was being moved for a
powerful cartel, but they haven't said which one. The money was mostly in U.S.
$100 bills, authorities said.
In a case
that highlights the regional impacts of the drug trade, now Honduran
investigators are trying to figure out how the suitcases slipped by airport
authorities, drug police and special investigators at the Toncontin airport in
Tegucigalpa.
Authorities
have suspended dozens of officers as they investigate, Honduran police told CNN
affiliate Televicentro.
Panamanian
police, who described the suitcase stash as their largest seizure in years,
arrested three Honduran nationals at Tocumen International Airport.
