An Immigrant Family From Ohio Says U.S. Customs Seized Their Life Savings, a $58,100
CABRERA: Come look at your TV. If you are in another room right now, because Denver police are investigating an FBI agent who is showing off his dance moves, and he accidentally shot a man on the dance floor, and you can see it in the video it is a happens. The off-duty agent is there doing a version of the stinky leg maybe, the gun falls out during the backflip and then it goes off with the flash when he goes to pick it up. One person was taken to the hospital with a leg injury. Luckily that wasn't serious. Here's how a witness described the scene.</s>CARA CHANCELLOR, WITNESSED ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING: It was a break dance circle, quintessential break dance circle. There was one man doing flips and he left and the FBI agent, I guess, we didn't know that, he came on the scene and he did a back flip and he was dancing. And then right as he did that back flip his gun fell out and hit the ground. It shot off.</s>CABRERA: That agent was taken to Denver police headquarters and later released to his FBI supervisor. An immigrant family from Ohio says U.S. customs seized their life savings, a $58,100 to be exact. Rusham Kazazi was flying home to Albania with the money in his bag and court documents because all he say for his family and to help purchase a vacation home. Karzazi says customs agents interrogated him and took the money. Here's how his son reacted.</s>ERALD KAZAZI, SON OF RUSHAM KAZAZI: He was intercepted by TSA at the airport because he had money in his luggage. We have never even done anything wrong, so to have CVP take his money with no cause whatsoever is shocking.</s>CABRERA: Polo Sandoval is joining us now. And court documents say that man was also strip searched.</s>POLO SANDOVAL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: That is what this gentleman alleges in these court documents that have been recently filed as he seeks to get his life savings back on. He also claims that he put the $58,100 in his carry-on when he left Cleveland Hopkinton international airport headed back to his native Armenia (ph). He said wanted to buy a vacation home here. He had a layover in Newark, New Jersey where Mr. Kazazi says he planned to make that declaration of this money. So did federal authorities have that solid legal footing in seizing this money? It's actually kind of unclear here, Ana. Let me explain here. It is not illegal to either come into the United States or leave the United States with large amounts of cash as long as you declare amounts in excess of $10,000. The question is though where should that declaration happen? When you pull up the form here that's required when you are traveling with these large amounts of money and you can read the -- the instructions for yourself here, it says that travelers carrying currency in excess of $10,000 either in or out of the United States have to make the declaration at the time they make entry into the United States or in Mr. Kazazi's case at the time of departure from the United States at a port of entry. The question though what port of entry? Mr. Kazazi claims that he planned to make that declaration at Newark international during his layover before he left to Armenia. But authorities here seem -- or at least everything that we have -- everything that's pointing to what we have right now is that seizure made by authorities happened hat Cleveland international airport. So that's the question here. If you are moving with these large amounts of money, should you make that at your initial point of departure or your last U.S. port of entry before you least United States? We looked at the forms here, and it just doesn't say. We turned to customs and border protection saying they cannot comment because of pending litigation, and they simply referred us to the form that doesn't go into great detail.</s>CABRERA: Have they told the man whether he can get his money back?</s>SANDOVAL: The seizure took place in October there in Cleveland Hopkins international airports. Two months, Mr. Kazazi then received that formal notice that they would not give him back his money saying that this money was involved in smuggling, drug trafficking and money laundering. However, criminal charges have not been filed against this man yet. So, again, we will have to see how that plays out in court.</s>CABRERA: Indeed. Polo Sandoval, thank you. Coming up, a CNN exclusive. The war against the most dangerous gang in the world, MS-13. Our own Nick Paton Walsh, he has access to an elite police squad that tracks down gang members but not without controversy.
