The luxury ferry, the Volcán del Teide, which operates a new passenger and goods service between the Canary Islands and Huelva, has not only opened up new possibilities for tourism, but also for contraband, El Mundo reports.
The ferry set sail on its first journey from the Canaries at the end of March and has made eight trips since then. It’s transported 5,000 passengers to Huelva in that time, but has also been used to transport 28,000 packets of contraband cigarettes.
The largest haul was last Friday when a Moroccan man was arrested with more than 20,000 packets in his van. Worth an estimated 85,000 €, he had hidden them inside second hand white goods which he said he’d bought in the Canaries to sell on in Morocco.
Four other passengers were arrested that day for attempting to smuggle contraband tobacco into the Peninsula.
