An unlabeled suitcase containing  $515,000 from Mexico was seized  at Tocumen International Airport on the weekend.

It arrived  by a courier service and was withdrawn by an airline employee which aroused the interest of customs inspectors.

The employee  who was arrested, said  the case was given to her by a person who asked her to take it out of the air terminal.
The Public Ministry is investigating its   origin and whether the money comes from drug trafficking.
