Officers from Bulgaria’s General Directorate Combating Organized Crime intercepted a cigarette smuggling operation moving illicit products from Greece to Romania through Bulgaria, detaining two suspects near Pernik, Deputy Director Darin Kostov said Friday. Authorities stopped a passenger car and a truck at a gas station, where they discovered 300 boxes of smuggled cigarettes. The case forms part of Interior Ministry enforcement priorities, with cross-border information sharing underway as a formal investigation begins.
