Four flight attendants have pleaded guilty to smuggling drug money out of the US, utilizing their 'Known Crewmember' status to bypass airport security and transport illicit cash.
Prosecutors reported that the attendants transported about $8 million in cash to the Dominican Republic, exploiting their aircrew privileges to avoid scrutiny.
US Attorney Damian Williams stated that these individuals abused their flight privileges, highlighting the commitment of law enforcement to halt illicit narcotics proceeds.
The operation, which began in 2014, was dismantled through coordinated efforts involving Homeland Security Investigations and the New York City Police Department, confirming law enforcement's efficacy.
