The border authorities at the "Henri Coanda" Airport discovered over 200,000 cigarettes in the checked luggage of four Romanian citizens coming from the United Arab Emirates, which they failed to declare.

According to a Inspectorate General of the Border Police (IGPF) release sent on Friday, border police officers and customs officers checked, on Thursday afternoon, the four men, aged between 31 and 47, who, after retrieving their luggage, proceeded through the corridor designated for passengers with nothing to declare.

Thorough checks were carried out on their luggage, revealing a significant amount of undeclared, unmarked cigarette packs, bearing the name of a well-known brand. Following the inventory, a total of 219,600 cigarettes (10,980 packs) was found.

The entire quantity of cigarettes was seized by the customs authority. The case was reported to the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Buftea Court for investigation on charges of smuggling.
