According to the agency, a man who tried to remove the work was supposed to fly a flight "Moscow-Vienna" and went through the red channel "with a completed Declaration of 7000 euros. He said the customs officers, among his things there is nothing that would require a written declaration. However, officials have found things in his works of art.

In The News said that it was a spot-checking, that is, this gentleman's luggage checked by accident.

Unlucky smuggler, in my opinion, just a pathologically stingy (small reward for all the documents would help to correct it), or not at odds with the head, because to expect that such goods do not pay attention - quite ridiculous.
