Cigarette smugglers were caught in Ásotthalom and Röszke

The finance officers found several million HUF worth cigarettes without tax stamps in the converted cars of smugglers in Ásotthalom and Röszke – the National Taxation and Customs Office (NAV) informed MTI on Sunday.

Némedi-Varga Éva, the press officer of NAV’s Csongrád County Tax and Customs Directorate, told that the financiers checked an Austrian car driven by a Serbian woman near Ásotthalom. Traces of transformation were discovered on the bumpers, therefore, during a tightened inspection, the vehicle was examined by a drug and cigarette dog.
