At the Odesa airport, border guards intercepted a request for illegal import into Ukraine of 260 women's handbags with logos of well-known world brands under the guise of bed linen, reports the press service of the Ukrainian State University.
The goods arrived by flight from Istanbul. The citizen of Turkey, who was waiting for the cargo, probably wanted to avoid paying customs taxes and planned to sell the bags in elite Odessa boutiques.
Law enforcement officers seized the goods.
