Taking a closer look can always be worthwhile, especially for customs officers. This is what happened in Munich, because the officials of the German customs authorities managed to intercept large amounts of dumping. These were sent from Bulgaria to Mexico every two weeks.

The air freight was reloaded at Munich Airport and since this is where the European Union is leaving, the customs officers looked particularly carefully: According to a media statement, around 20.000 tablets, 3.100 ampoules and more than 400 other illegal doping substances were found and seized. These were in packages that were sent from Bulgaria to private addresses in Mexico. The stopover in Munich and the attention of the customs officials there, who put the black market value at "several hundred thousand euros", were fatal. In cooperation with Bulgaria and Mexico is now being determined.
