Smuggling

Cigarette disguised with trout fillets

During an inspection of a Turkish truck, Hungarian officials found 3,000 boxes of cigarettes in Röszke.

Financial guards inspected a Turkish truck transporting smoked trout fillets to Röszke to Germany.

On the x-rays, the investigators noticed several boxes packed in a different way from the cargo. Opening the cargo hold, behind the trout fillets, a total of 3,000 boxes of untaxed cigarettes were found in cardboard boxes by financiers.

The untaxed incense worth more than HUF 5 million was seized by NAV employees. In addition to imposing a fine in excess of HUF 10 million, the financiers filed a complaint against the driver for budget fraud.
