Andorra la VellaThe sale on the black market of products from Andorra led to an investigation by the French police in Carcassonne. Officers set up a checkpoint to stop a suspect from engaging in the smuggling of multiple products. They stopped the Renault Scenic he was driving when he was returning from a trip from Andorra where he had purchased goods.
The man was engaged in the illegal sale of tobacco, alcohol and perfumes which he bought in Andorra and facilitated at a cheaper price than the cost of these products in Carcassonne. The police arrested the 59-year-old suspect and searched his home.
The agents found alcohol, tobacco and perfumes worth 13,000 euros in the market. The most shocking thing was the 341 bottles of different types of alcohol that he had stored to later sell.
French police are continuing their investigation after the arrest as there could be other people involved. The sheer magnitude of the products for sale on the black market could mean the participation of more people in the whole circuit between the transfer of goods from Andorra and the sale in Carcassonne.
