Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "We are only carrying eight cartons of cigarettes." - This statement by a 24-year-old Bulgarian and his co-driver soon turned out to be a huge lie. Customs officers took a closer look at the minibus during an inspection on the highway near Bruck an der Leitha. And found no less than 301 cartons of cigarettes hidden in boxes. The 60,300 cigarettes have a retail price of around 17,000 euros in this country.
As they would have had to be taxed on transportation to Austria, duties of around 10,000 euros would have been due. The tobacco products destined for Holland were confiscated and the suspects face a fine of up to twice the amount of duty evaded.
