15kg of Duty-Free Tobacco Seized at Ledra Street Crossing

15 kilograms of duty-free roll-your-own tobacco were seized from a Romanian national at the Ledra Street crossing. During a check of his luggage, customs officials discovered the tobacco, which lacked the required health warnings in Greek and Turkish. The Romanian was arrested and detained for two days while investigations continue. It appears the tobacco was collected from the occupied territories with the intention of being transported to the United Kingdom via Paphos Airport.
