The interpreter of “Necklace of Fine Pearls” mentioned the turban for being a garment that identifies the congresswoman.
Piedad Córdoba’s money was found inside one of her suitcases in a routine procedure at Palmerola International Airport, Comayagua department. According to the report of the National Migration Institute (INM), Córdoba alleged that the dollars belonged to a Colombian businessman who resides in the city of Tegucigalpa.

“He is being summoned to give statements and to follow the corresponding legal procedure.”
When Piedad Córdoba was questioned about the origin of the money, she commented that it was the result of the payment of some consultancies.
It is worth noting that a traveler on an international flight can only carry $10,000 in cash.
For now and while her situation is resolved, the Colombian congresswoman is being held in a police station in the Central American country.
Córdoba has a period of 48 hours to explain the origin of the 62 thousand dollars, money that is in the hands of the Honduran Public Ministry.
