Two foreign nationals, aged 44 and 42, were arrested at midday on Monday, January 19, at Athens International Airport, charged with violating the National Customs Code.

The suspects were identified by police officers at the airport’s arrivals level shortly after landing at “Eleftherios Venizelos” on a flight from Armenia. During an inspection of their luggage, police found and confiscated 550 packs of cigarettes that did not bear the required excise tax stamp.

A case file was opened against them, and the arrested individuals were taken before the competent public prosecutor for further proceedings.
