October 27 A “VW Passat” passenger car driven by a Lithuanian national arrived at the Panemunė roadside post from the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation. Klaipeda territorial customs officials ordered the vehicle to be scanned by an X-ray control system. To avoid this process, the driver tried to bribe the Post Inspector of the Mobile Group, who provided him with 150 euros, but the officer informed the Customs Criminal Service on the incident.
The citizen’s car was scanned with a mobile X-ray monitoring system. When it was suspected that undeclared goods could be transported, the customs authorities conducted a physical inspection of the vehicle.
36 carefully selected waste packages of electronic components containing precious metals were found in a cache installed in the fuel tank. Total load weight: 48 kilograms. Preliminary customs value of the contraband goods, including taxes to be paid: more than 11,000 euros.
Customs agents seized scrap electronic parts and a car smuggling for 7,000 euros.
A pre-trial investigation into an attempted bribery of a public official and smuggling was launched in the Klaipėda section of the Criminal Customs Service. The pre-trial investigation is led by the Klaipėda Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
