Tuesday.

The car was entering Bulgaria from Turkey, driven by a Bulgarian
 citizen. The driver and his companion stated that they had
nothing to declare. During an inspection, however, customs
officials found 114 packages of heroin worth more than 2 million
 leva.

In another case, 31 kg of marijuana were found during a customs
inspection at the distribution base of a logistics company. The
shipment was being sent from Italy to Greece.
