A Belarusian tried to smuggle live goods into Poland. They were worth a fortune.

A 41-year-old Belarusian attempted to smuggle 41 live lizards, valued at 100,000 PLN, into Poland. The reptiles, purchased in Russia, were intended for sale to a Polish citizen at a significantly lower price. The lizards belong to various species protected under CITES regulations. The smuggler was apprehended by customs officials, and the animals are now under professional care. He faces legal consequences, including a potential prison sentence of up to five years.
