The Financial Investigation Division (FID) says Kevin Anthony Dyer, 29, an apprentice Custom Clerk from Chaguanas, pleaded guilty and was fined or sentenced to three months imprisonment for failure to declare the money.
According to the FID, officers of the Transnational Crime and Narcotics Division intercepted Dyer last Tuesday as he was about to check in to board a Caribbean Airlines flight destined for the twin island republic.
A preliminary interview was conducted with Dyer during which he indicated to the police that he only had US$2,000 in his possession.
A suitcase which he had was searched and the US$45,000 found. The Trinidadian indicated that he won the money at a recent sound system clash in the southern parish of St Elizabeth.
The cash was seized and he was charged with failure to declare under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
