Western Union to return fees from seized wire transfers
Tagged: attorney, Mexico, money transfer, Western UnionPosted on: July 17th, 2007“Western Union will return $400,000 in fees paid by customers from Illinois and 25 other states whose money transfers were seized by Arizona authorities last year.
The funds remain in dispute, however.
Arizona officials alleged that wire transfers through firms such as Western Union and MoneyGram help fund the smuggling of drugs and illegal immigrants from Mexico. The Arizona attorney general’s office has said that since 2002 it has seized $17 million in wired funds to Arizona and Mexico.”
