Border guards of the Mukachevo BG Detachment in the framework of Carpathians-2021 Operation prevented the illegal movement of tobacco smuggling across the Ukrainian-Hungarian border last night in Transcarpathia.

During a patrol, Dula Section officers spotted several men carrying packages wrapped in black polyethylene toward the Hungarian border. Unknown people ignored the lawful demands of the border guards to stop the movement even after the warning shots, but instead left their burdens and began to flee. One of the fugitives was detained by the military, and during a search of the area they found 8 boxes containing 4,000 packs of cigarettes.

The detained smuggler was taken to the border unit. Protocols on administrative offenses were drawn up against him. The case was sent to court.

The tobacco products were also delivered to the border unit, which will later be handed over to customs officers.
