Chinese mum offers to sleep with US customs official if he just turns a blind eye to $160,000 in undeclared luxury goods
A Chinese woman has been accused of offering sex as a bribe to a U.S. customs official at JFK airport, after she was caught red handed with a considerable amount of undeclared luxury goods.
Hong Yang, 55, first arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport from Paris last July with her sister and adult daughter. The Customs and Border Patrol officers found undeclared items in their luggage, including designer bags, a fur coat, diamond jewellery and watches valued at $160,000, according to New York Daily News.
The complaint filed at Brooklyn Federal Court said that the woman attempted to then bribe the officer with a note with her name and phone number on it, and offered to throw in a watch and US$10,000 if he would turn a blind eye to the goods.
