West Australian police say $1.8 million cash seized during a traffic stop in Southern Cross last week is suspected to be the profits of organised crime and drug trafficking, although investigations are ongoing.
The Transnational and Serious Organised Crime Squad has charged a 36-year-old man with property laundering.
It was alleged the man hired a vehicle and was travelling from Perth to the eastern states when he was stopped on the Great Eastern Highway near Southern Cross on Thursday afternoon.
