Russian police said it was taken by two loaders at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.
Kanu, 41, reported the money missing when he reached Kaliningrad, where he was playing in a World Cup curtain raiser game organised by FIFA.
Russian Interior Ministry, said the loaders were dealing with the baggage from a London to Moscow flight.
Kanu, travelling on a British passport, had appealed for help to police in Kaliningrad. The stolen cash was removed (from the loaders) and will soon be returned to the owner', she said.
Mash online news outlet reported: 'The World Cup has not even begun yet, but world soccer celebrities already require the help of Russian police.'
The loaders, aged 30 and 36, face criminal investigation and could be sent to jail for up to six years.

ReplyDeleteI don't know why people still travel with cash higher than a thousand five hundred euros/dollars or pounds in their bag.
What are credit cards for?!
Sorry Mr. Kanu for the stress, but next time, travel with less cash and use your credit card.
Will you trust your card in a place like Russia? Cash is king.

DeleteInfact any valuables should not be check in u guys will not hear, carry your bag inside d aircraft
Can you see how civilized countries work? Oh mighty shithole that you are???
ReplyDeleteThey've used their surveillance cameras, found the two loaders who stole the money and they are currently being prosecuted.
Let any of your property miss, mighty shit hole airport staff will be picking nose, saying they dont know what happened, they will even turn the story upside down and accuse you of lying. Tueh, cursed country.

ReplyDeleteSo he could not put the money in his hand luggage or man purse,he didn't want to declare he had more than $10k on him or what?
ReplyDeleteWho puts cash in checked luggage? They tell you all valuables, prescription medication, jewellery and money you should store in your carry-on or personal item, truthfully you don't even need someone to tell you this common-sense should guide you. As global and exposed as this man is he still put all that cash in checked luggage and now is disturbing us..mtschww
