Worth €52,000
500 kilos of Dubai chocolate withdrawn from circulation
In October and November 2024, customs officers searching for smuggled goods at the Nickelsdorf border crossing found what they were looking for twice. A total of 2540 200g bars - 508 kilograms of Dubai chocolate - were to be brought into Austria unannounced in a coach coming from Turkey.

During a further routine check in mid-November, another 16 boxes containing a total of 1040 pieces of Dubai chocolate were discovered in the same Turkish coach.
In both cases, double import duties totaling 4000 euros were therefore collected. The estimated retail value of the 2540 chocolate bars seized is just under 52,000 euros.
