Mokwena’s case was heard at the Dar El Beida Court, where he received a suspended prison sentence.
“Mokwena was detained after being found with 15 000 US Dollars in cash. In Algeria, you can’t travel with more than $7 500 … But what I know is that he’s now been released and is waiting to depart for Libya via Turkey,” respected Algerian journalist Nazim Bessol confirmed, as told by iDiski Times.
“We have just received an update from the court that Mokwena was prosecuted and has been fined and also handed a two-month suspended sentence after being found with 14 200 euros (=$15 000).
“He was prosecuted for attempting to take foreign currency out of the country,” Bessol concluded.
