Chapter 13 - The Airport Takedown
At the city’s international airport, Marco Santos walked briskly through the VIP departure terminal wearing a dark trench coat and sunglasses, carrying a small black briefcase containing encrypted flash drives and forged passports.
He checked his wrist watch—his flight to South America was departing in fifteen minutes.
Suddenly, six plainclothes federal agents stepped out from behind the boarding gate counters, surrounding him from all sides.
"Marco Santos?" the lead agent asked, holding up an official federal arrest warrant.
Marco dropped his briefcase, attempting to turn around and run toward the exit, but two agents tackled him onto the polished airport floor, pinning his arms firmly behind his back.
"The wire transfer was intercepted and frozen by the State Treasury twenty minutes ago, Mr. Santos," the agent informed him calmly. "Your offshore accounts are fully seized."
