A Haitian pastor was arrested by Haitian police Wednesday at Haiti's Toussaint Louverture International Airport in possession of 95,000 US dollars gift wrapped and bound for the United States.

Haitian Pastor Estiverne Jean-Charles

According to news reports, Pastor Estiverne Jean-Charles who runs a church at Delmas 33 in Port-au-Prince Haiti was about to board a flight to the United States when authorities spotted a special gift in his bag, 95,000 US dollars nicely gift wrapped.

When the reverend was asked where did that money come from, he replied: "I am a pastor, I can travel with as much money as I want."

Really???

It is illegal to travel to or from Haiti with more than $10,000 US or 400,000 gourdes without declaring it.

Pastor Estiverne Jean-Charles is now answering questions of the Haitian Judicial Police (DCPJ)
