A Customs sniffer dog found almost $23,000 in undeclared cash on a passenger who was about to fly to Istanbul on Sunday, the Customs Department said. 

The discovery was made during a routine search by an Anti-Money Laundering Team assisted by Peter the dog.

The passenger was fined according to legislation, the department said.

Passengers are not allowed to carry more than the equivalent of €10,000 in undeclared cash. Anything over that limit is seized.
