A Ukrainian national was apprehended at the Polish-Ukrainian border with smuggled corals.
At the border crossing in Meditz, Polish customs officers detained a 52-year-old Ukrainian man who was attempting to illegally transport two specimens of corals protected by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) across the border. The man did not have the necessary documentation for transporting the specimens. The case has been forwarded for investigation, and the offender paid a fine of 500 Polish zlotys.
