A man has been charged with money laundering after £400,000 was found in a suitcase at Heathrow Airport.
The Austrian national was arrested by Border Force staff at the West London airport on Wednesday as he tried to board a flight to Turkey, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
Nearly 11,000 Euros (about £9,150) was found in a carry-on backpack, which was also seized, the agency said.
The man was due to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Friday.
