As SLED.net.ua learned, on Sunday, officers from the Odessa Regional Department of Internal Affairs and the Department for Combating Organized Crime conducted operations that resulted in the discovery of instances of smuggling goods (branded clothing) into Ukraine using corrupt connections at the southern customs office. A truck, cleared through customs, was detained at the exit of the BOND loading and customs terminal located at 12 Promyshlennaya Street in Illichivsk. It was carrying Turkish textiles bound for the 7-km market.

Following this, police officers, together with the Ministry of Revenue's Internal Security Directorate and investigative agencies, conducted a re-inspection of the vehicle.
