“The incident was recorded near the village of Tudora (on the Ukrainian side – the ‘Starokozache’ border checkpoint). A Yutong coach driven by a 44-year-old Moldovan citizen was stopped for a customs inspection. During the inspection of the vehicle, eight cats with certificates of origin for the Maine Coon breed were discovered in the luggage compartment,” the Border Police stated.
The inspection revealed that the animals had not been declared to the customs authorities in accordance with the established procedure upon entry into the Republic of Moldova.
Due to this breach of customs legislation, the cats were seized and placed in secure custody, whilst proceedings have been initiated to hold the offender administratively liable.
