Employees of the 7th Carpathian Border Detachment, together with customs officers at the “Krakivets” border crossing in the Lviv region, detained a large batch of smuggled goods. During an inspection of a Mercedes vehicle entering Ukraine, 89 pairs of sneakers from a well-known brand were found in the trunk. The estimated value of the goods was approximately half a million hryvnias.
The driver, a 33-year-old resident of Bukovina, stated that he had picked up the order in Frankfurt and intended to send it to the recipient in Chernivtsi by mail. Upon completion of the inspection, a protocol for customs violations was drawn up against the offender, and the seized items will be stored in the customs warehouse.
