Last night, border guards of the Velyky Berezny department prevented another attempt of cigarettes smuggling from Ukraine to EU countries. The contraband cigarettes were found during a joint inspection of a passenger car Audi with Polish registration at the checkpoint "Maly Berezny".
During the inspection of the car heading for departure from Ukraine, border guards suspected that there might be hidden items in it. The vehicle was sent for an in-depth inspection. As a result of the inspection, 122 packs of cigarettes West without Ukrainian excise stamps were found in the front and rear wings of the car. Access to the stash was made possible after dismantling the trim, license plate and fuse box. A 40-year-old Polish citizen tried to transport the cigarettes to Slovakia.
In accordance with the law, the car Audi worth more than 53 thousand hryvnias and the tobacco products found in it were seized by customs officers. The value of cigarettes is currently being established.
