The General Tax Administration (AGT) seized over $1.6 million in undeclared funds throughout 2025, a situation that constitutes a serious violation of the legal limit on the amount of foreign currency permitted to leave the country.
According to Valor Económico, citing data from the tax authorities, 31 seizures were made over the past year, resulting in the seizure of $1.6 million, 17,420 euros, and over 100,000 kwanzas.
This information comes at a time when authorities detained a TAAG flight crew member at the international airport after she allegedly attempted to board a flight to Lisbon, Portugal, with 39,515 undeclared euros, an amount exceeding the limit on foreign currency allowed to leave the country.
The incident took place on May 5 during screening procedures at the passenger terminal, in an operation conducted by the AGT and the Tax Police.
These cases are beginning to highlight the authorities’ strict measures to curb the illegal outflow of foreign currency from the country, amid complex economic and financial challenges.
