Customs Officers Shocked to See Baby Diapers

A 42-year-old German citizen was caught by customs officers at Cologne/Bonn Airport after attempting to smuggle gold jewelry through the green lane for unreported goods. The man had hidden eight gold bracelets and several rings weighing over 200 grams inside children's diapers in his luggage. The estimated value of the items exceeds €20,000, far above the €430 duty-free allowance for travelers from non-EU countries. As a result, he faces both customs duties and potential tax evasion charges. Customs authorities noted that such smuggling attempts are particularly common on flights from the Middle East and Turkey.
