'Japanese' pair reportedly held with $134 billion in U.S. bonds

Kyodo News Two Japanese were detained by Italian financial police last week after trying to enter Switzerland with $134 billion worth of undeclared U.S. bonds, mostly Treasury bonds, an Italian newspaper reported Wednesday.

 

The Japanese Consulate General in Milan acknowledged that two people had been detained, but it was still trying to confirm with Italian authorities their identities and whether they are Japanese nationals.

 

According to the report in il Giornale, two unidentified Japanese in their 50s concealed the bonds, including 249 U.S. Treasury bonds worth $500 million each, in a suitcase with a false bottom. The bonds were found June 3 during a search by Italian authorities in Chiasso, on the border with Switzerland about 50 km north of Milan.

 

The newspaper did not say on what grounds the two were detained, but they may have been held on suspicion of attempting to take a large amount of securities out of Italy without declaring them.

 

It said the Italian authorities were investigating whether the securities are genuine, given their huge value.

 

If the bonds are genuine, the two could be fined around 40 percent of their total value, it said.

woah i mean that's a lot of money :undecided: that's more than the koweit's gdp.

Normally issues of this scale get swept under the table, I wonder why the press are aloud to write about this incident

I would be too. It is something I have noticed a lot recently. It gets worked into popular media and daily life a lot more than I used to notice (I'm probably just more aware of it now). The same with Mexicans.

manz cant be foreign youre too street

I thought Jap meant Jewish American Princess. I guess it is a slur for both.

i would like to debate just how offensive "jap" is seeing as it' just an abbreviation of "japanese" i mean does a japanee person really care about that?

i wrote an essay in grade 11 calling Japanese people "Japs" just because I was getting tired of typing it out all the time.

My teacher was fucking pissed and made me re-write it.

so you can spell allowed perfectly in german can you?

I've got a japanese friend (yes that's the one who wanked over a pic of his ass). He's really into nipponism/nationalism/fascism a la yukio mishima (he's also half gay). Well he just call japanese people 'japs'.

i've also A BLACK FRIEND. Sometimes we call each other 'my nigger'. how affective (but he's not gay).

so if i call a spanish person a Spaniard, or an Australian an Aussie, those are racist statements?

idiots.
