Customs Seize 15,000 Untaxed Cigarettes on A3 Motorway

Schweinfurt customs made a significant seizure on the A3 motorway in the Kitzingen district. A total of 15,000 untaxed cigarettes, hidden in a truck, were discovered. The driver, a 47-year-old man named Wolfgang S., was allowed to continue his journey after paying a security deposit. However, a criminal investigation has been initiated against him.

The illicit tobacco was cleverly concealed within the truck. It was found in 75 boxes, hidden within a tabletop and a wooden construction. The discovery was made by customs officials patrolling the motorway. The estimated tax loss amounts to approximately €2,900. The investigation into Wolfgang S. is ongoing.
