Customs Agents Seize Illicit Cash, Cigarettes at Airport
YERUSHALAYIM – Customs agents in recent days seized 1,130 packets of cigarettes that two immigrants from the former Soviet republic of Georgia were attempting to smuggle into Israel. The cigarettes were valued at over NIS 250,000, the Customs Authority said Monday.The smugglers attempted to pass through customs on the “green channel,” but customs officials demanded to see the contents of their luggage – which turned out to be stuffed to the gills with cigarette packets. The two said that they had been asked by a third individual to bring the luggage into the country, but had been unaware of their contents.
