Frontier police in Maramures county, Northern Transylvania, say they have caught on Friday, 11th May, a group of eight women aged 34-78 who carried a large quantity of tobacco.
The women were hiding in their van over 5,500 packs of cigarettes, and were not able to produce any commercial documents related to the wares.
The tobacco was of Ukrainian origin, and valued approximately € 6,400.
According to police representatives, the elderly women had bought the cigarettes in Sighet, near the Ukrainian borderline, and were planning to trade them in Sibiu, Southern Transylvania.
The women told police inspectors that they were expecting to make some 300% profit from the business.
The eight smugglers had to pay a fine for illegal traffic of cigarettes, and had their stock confiscated.
