Singer Jenni Rivera was arrested Monday at Mexico City's international
airport for failing to declare more than $50,000 in cash before boarding a
flight to the United States, authorities said.
Agents found $52,167 in the Mexican singer's carryon luggage during a random
search of passengers waiting to board a flight to Los Angeles, the Attorney
General's Office said in a statement. Rivera had previously told authorities
she was carrying $20,000.
Rivera was being questioned late Monday and authorities were determining
whether she would face charges, the agency said.
The singer's publicist, Arturo Rivera, declined to comment, saying he was
not yet familiar with the circumstances surrounding her detention.
Rivera, who lives in California, participated in a television show in Mexico
City on Sunday night.
The singer, whose hits include "Guilty or Innocent," won female artist of
the year in the Mexico regional category of the 2009 "Premios Lo Nuestro"
awards.
Rivera has had trouble with the law before, including allegations of
assault. She has also filed a legal complaint against an unidentified person
over the publication of a sex tape.
In 2007, her ex-husband was convicted of sexually molesting his daughter and
sister-in-law
