RIVER cruising smuggler style.
A 19-year old smuggler, Andrii Vorolsil,
has seen his dreams of fortune go down
the drink, after he was caught by Ukrainian
police trying to swim 60,000 packets of
cigarettes across the Tisa River.
The hapless cigarette mogul had donned
a full wetsuit and had wrapped his precious
cargo in thick plastic cling wrap for his epic
swim, hoping to dodge Ukrainian taxes.
He was however spotted with his not so
conspicuous cargo shortly after entering the
water, and upon entreaty to give himself up
tried to make a swim for freedom.
This effort, possibly hampered by 60,000
packets of cigarettes, was however futile,
and he was picked up by police upon arrival
on the river bank.
ANOTHER reason to take an Italian cruise.
History buffs looking for a European
cruise, should consider vessels that call into
ports which offer easy access to Modena,
after a pair of 1,500 year old skeletons which
were buried holding hands were unearthed
by workers at a construction site.
Display plans have not yet been revealed,
although scientists are calling the find “very
touching and very rare”.
