She was traveling from Russia to Poland.

During a customs inspection at the Polish-Russian border, authorities discovered a rare and protected item in the luggage of a passenger traveling from Russia to Poland. The item was a 57-centimeter 'rostrum'—a sword-like structure of a sawfish, which is an endangered species under international protection. The woman claimed she received the item as a gift from a deceased relative and was unaware of its legal status. Authorities emphasized that ignorance of regulations does not excuse violations, and the woman was fined and ordered to pay court costs. The item was confiscated and the case reported to prosecutors.
