Smuggled case cash 'totalled $5m'
An alleged plot to smuggle election funds from Venezuela to Argentina may have involved as much as $5m, a court in the US city of Miami has heard.
A Florida-based businessman was stopped at Buenos Aires airport last year with $800,000 (£430,000) in a suitcase.
In court the man, now a prosecution witness, said another case with $4.2m may have breached Argentine customs.
The trial centres on a Venezuelan man accused of being an illegal agent of Venezuela's government in the US.
US prosecutors say the cash was sent by Venezuela to fund the presidential election campaign of Argentina's then First Lady, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who was elected last October.
