Pascual Ciriaco, 49, who’s married and unemployed, was taken into custody following the stop by Narcotic Task Force detectives who’d been tipped off that he was “transporting bulk amounts of currency,” Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

Ciriaco had stashed the cash in an “electronically operated aftermarket hidden compartment” in his vehicle, the prosecutor said.

Detectives charged him with money laundering and released pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, he said.
