Customs stops mushroom smuggling: 71 kilos forbidden finds in border traffic!

customs authorities ensured 71 kilograms of mushrooms in Hohentengen in Hohentengen last weekend, which travelers went beyond the permitted amount for their own use! Two Swiss, an Italian and an Austrian between the ages of 48 and 73 tried to transport between 10 and 29 kilograms of particularly protected species, including the porcini mushroom.

The customs officers of the main customs office did not let themselves and imposed fines of fines of around 7,200 euros against the tariff overrun. The mushrooms found were stowed away in baskets, bags and bags, the result of a collection campaign in the Black Forest - a brazen violation of the Federal Nature Conservation Act!
