What on earth was he doing.... Don Johnson denies cash stash
11.16AM GMT, 12 Mar 2003 Former Miami Vice star Don Johnson has been caught up in a money-laundering investigation by German Customs officials. Johnson, 53, was stopped last year while travelling from Switzerland to Germany and officials discovered almost $5 billion in share certificates, cheques, credit notes and bonds in his possession. Officials in Germany have not filed any charges, but have passed on the information of the discovery to US authorities. Leonard Bierl of German Customs CID explained why US officials were informed: "That wouldn't have happened unless we were suspicious about why he had all these stocks and shares on him." The papers were found in a suitcase that the Nash Bridges star was carrying from Zurich. When he was stopped on November 6 last year, Johnson claimed he needed the documents for a business deal. The television star - once married to Hollywood actress Melanie Griffiths - is already in hot water in the US. He is being sued in California for $1 million dollars after allegedly failing to repay a bank loan. A spokesman for the star confirmed that Johnson had been stopped at the German border, but denied he had $5 billion of stocks and shares on him at the time. http://www.itv.com/news/1931414.html | |
