Although it is suspected that he was thrown over board to avoid the game debts accumulated on the ship, he was accused of trying to transport more than $ 10,000 outside the United States. The police found that he was carrying $ 14,600 in cash at the time.
Questioned by the investigators, Gonzalez Diaz says that “he did not want to report the currency in his possession because he thought he was going to be taxed to bring the currency”.
According to reports, Gonzalez-Diaz owed $ 16,710.24 to the Royal Caribbean, that the criminal allegations deposited against him the State are “almost exclusively associated with casino and play expenses”.
However, the case is not over. NBC News reports that a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean refused the comment, because it is an active investigation:
“… As this is an underway investigation, we work with the authorities and we have no more information to share.”
