Customs stops travelers with a 60 cm walrus bush to the Ber airport

traumatic incident at Berlin Brandenburg Airport! What started like a harmless luggage check took a shocking turn when customs officers made a moving find: an artistically decorated, over 60 centimeter long tusks of a walrus, was waiting to be discovered!

Everything happened last Saturday when a 24-year-old traveler from Georgia arrived with her father's exotic "gift" who lives in Russia. But what was intended for her as a loving gesture quickly became a nightmare: the tusks of the majestic walrus (scientifically known as Odobenus Rosmarus) caught the eye of the tax collectors after they were surprised by X -ray images that indicated unauthorized goods.

The surprising find

The controls at the airport are strict and the officials did not leave anything undetected. When the Georgian woman took her suitcase off the bailiff and passed the green -free outcome for registration -free -free, they were heard. Suddenly the lights of the alarm bells went on! The young customs officers asked the lady for control and discovered the suspiciously packaged tusks, which was neatly wrapped in a bed sheet. A huge find that not only raises questions, but could also result in big problems for travelers!

endangered species and high penalties

The walross is a particularly protected way, and the possession of your tusks can bring serious legal consequences. The woman could plunge into a financial misery: a fine of up to 10,000 euros is in the room if proven that she has illegally acquired the tushing tooth. The joy of a supposed gift could quickly turn into a nightmare. The excitement at the airport shows that nothing remains undetected and the law has a long arm!
