Customs violations are increasing at Riga Airport, according to a report from Latvian Radio on August 13th. Authorities are detecting more attempts to import prohibited or undeclared goods. Specifically, cases involving cigarettes and alcohol have risen significantly. Worryingly, there has also been an increase in drug smuggling attempts through the airport. This trend indicates a growing challenge for customs officials at the airport. The rising offences suggest a need for increased vigilance and potentially stricter security measures to combat illicit activities. Further investigation is underway to determine the causes behind this upswing in illegal imports.
