Larnaca Customs: 'Jackpot' with Luxury Watches Worth Thousands of Euros

Customs officials at Larnaca Airport discovered undeclared luxury goods in the luggage of two passengers of Russian origin with Cypriot citizenship. The first passenger's luggage contained a watch worth €40,000, while the second had a watch worth €9,400 and ski clothing/footwear worth €4,500. The passengers had chosen the 'green lane' (nothing to declare). After negotiations, both paid out-of-court fines to avoid further penalties, totaling €4,390.
