Three Arrests for Large Cigarette Seizure at Paphos Airport

Customs officials at Paphos Airport arrested three British nationals for illegally transporting large quantities of cigarettes. During the inspection of their luggage, a total of 191 cartons of cigarettes were found without the required health warnings in Greek and Turkish, indicating they were duty-free. The 36-year-old was released after paying an out-of-court settlement of €3,000, while the 42-year-old and 47-year-old were released after a request for a 4-day detention and an out-of-court settlement.
