The New Media Journal | Colombian Authorities Seize $6.2 million in Counterfeit US Currency

The New Media Journal | Colombian Authorities Seize $6.2 million in Counterfeit US Currency: "Colombia's secret service seized $6.2 million in counterfeit US bills that were hidden in Bogota and were set to be distributed in the United States, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.

Colombia's secret service, the Administrative Department of Security (DAS), said Wednesday that the fake money was found in a raid in a modest Bogota neighborhood. One man was arrested after being found keeping watch over the illegal printing office.

During the proceedings, agents also seized diverse printing material, including some to reproduce the front and back of 100- dollar bills, the DAS said in a statement.

The secret service added that they also found material to print the coat of arms of the US Treasury Department."
