Smuggled Smokes in Hidden Compartments In announcing its efforts against the smuggling network operating in Italy, France, Poland, Switzerland, and the U.K., the European Public Prosecutor's Office, which worked with international law enforcement agencies as well as police in all five countries, noted the smugglers used "maritime and commercial routes designed to evade customs inspections," passed shipments "through Georgia, Kenya, the Netherlands and Turkey, in order to hide the true origin of the illicit goods," and that "false bottoms were used as hidden compartments built into containers to conceal the tobacco." At the conclusion of the investigation, "enforcement activities were carried out at the Port of Genoa, leading to the seizure of close to 41 tonnes of manufactured cigarettes, with an estimated loss of customs duties, excise duties and VAT exceeding 10 million."
