Montenegrin Police Cracks Down on Excise Goods Smugglers in Bijelo Polje!
In Bijelo Polje, Montenegro, the police are showing zero tolerance for those trying to dodge the law and smuggle excise goods. The Regional Security Center North, in cooperation with customs officials, stopped a cargo vehicle registered in Podgorica, driven by M.Lj. from Podgorica.
At first glance, everything seemed legal – the driver presented a customs declaration for excise goods. But the police and customs officers were not fooled. Besides the declared goods, they found undeclared goods – alcoholic beverages and food hidden behind removed customs seals!
A criminal complaint has been filed against M.Lj., and the case is now before the prosecutor. This is not just another smuggling story – it’s a clear sign that Montenegrin police and customs are stepping up the fight against the grey economy and illegal trade.
Why does this matter?
Smuggling excise goods directly hits the state budget and honest traders. Every time someone bypasses customs, the state loses money that could be invested in healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
What’s next?
This case is just the tip of the iceberg. Montenegro faces a serious grey economy problem, and such actions show that authorities are not planning to stop. But is it enough?
