According to the press service of the State Customs Committee of Transnistria, the smuggling of alcohol into the territory of the neighboring country was organized by a group of Pridnestrovians and a resident of Ukraine. At one of the dachas located on the shore of the estuary, they installed a container with a volume of about 3 thousand liters, which was connected to a hose using a tap. The liquid moved through the hose using a pumping system and thus reached the other side.
According to preliminary calculations by operatives, the homemade “alcohol pipeline” only on the land part of the Transnistrian territory had a length of more than a kilometer.
More than 4 thousand liters of alcohol and tools used by the smugglers were seized at the scene. Customs officials believe that the offenders carried out their activities over several weeks. An investigation is underway.
