Jay Gonzalez-Dias jumped over the side of the Roepsody of the Seas liner Royal Caribbean during the landing of guests. He was saved by two men, one of whom put him on a jet ski. He was taken as the shore, where the passenger was detained by employees of the customs border service.
On board the airliner is 12 decks, but it is not known from which deck Gonzalez-Dias jumped. He was charged with an attempt to avoid taxes.
When he was asked why he jumped, he answered the customs officers that he did not want to declare the currency with him, because he did not want to pay tax. However, according to the documents of Royal Caribbean, he had a debt to a cruise company of $ 16,710, most of which went to casinos and gambling.
He found $ 14.6 thousand in cash in his backpack, as well as the US passport, a social insurance card, the birth certificate of a citizen Puerto Rico, a certificate of personality of Tennessee, and the landing coupon of the Royal Caribbean airline. The personality certificates indicated conflicting names, which raised additional questions, the publication said. The investigation continues.
