Customs fined a Greek Cypriot man €30,000 for smuggling 277 cartons of cigarettes and 22.7 kilos of tobacco from the Turkish occupied areas in the north of the island.The contraband was seized by police last Saturday, while the man was arrested.

The law allows the customs department to impose fines up to three times the value of the cigarettes.Authorities are particularly strict with cigarettes and tobacco coming from the north.
